Gary Comegys, Put A "Sock In It"

See Folks, all you have to do is play nice with Gary Comegys and you too can get a special invitation to T. J. Maloney's home at 1702 Riverside drive in Salisbury. I have to tell you, my nipples are hard with excitement knowing I have finally made it, I'm Somebody!

Now if you would like a special invitation too, all you have to do is call Debbie Comegys at 410-251-1072 or e-mail Lynn Cathcart at salisburylynn@comcast.net and be really nice, fork up $250.00 and tell them you too will play nice at the party.

Now call me stupid but what is Steve Grant's Penthouse? Poor Vinny! Maybe he double booked his La Roma Restaurant for Jim Ireton as well? I know Vinny, he's a smart business man. By the way, what's going to happen to this Party if Ireton and Caldwell bump Gary out of the General Election? Call me Vinny, I'll give you their phone numbers.

Wow, an actual fundraiser for Gary? They must be hurting if SAPOA isn't meeting all his financial needs this time around. Maybe some of the smarter landlords figured out he's not a good investment.

Steve Grant is an owner of the Riverside Drive condos I believe. Guess he has his pick of penthouses.

Grant's unit must be one of the 36(out of 42) unsold units at that horrid looking condo project he built a couple years ago on Riverside Drive directly across the ditch from Brew River.

I don't think Maloney's place is in the city -- please check.

Rumor is that Richard Insley will be coming back from his winter vacation in Florida to attend -- he's got a vested interest in Bubba becoming Barrie's successor.

Tell Vinny he's seen the last of my family at his restaurant.

Shame on you Vinny for even having your name associated with this jerk, hope you don't lose too much business because of this error.

Yuck. What a surprise that T.J Maloney would be behind this. Is anyone else sensing a theme in Comegys' support?

My weekly visits to Vinny's is over. I will miss the mussels but
I'll get over it.

More reasons to "double shot" for Bob Caldwell and Jime Ireton in the primary election on March 3, when we can vote for both of them.

Let's Bump Bubba!

Why, Vinny, Why???

"my nipples are hard with excitement"

Now that's a disgusting image.

"Now call me stupid but what is Steve Grant's Penthouse?"

OK, stupid. Steve Grant's river palace is the sh#t!

1702 is not in the city, it's on the south side of Shad Point Bridge. It is not big enough to accomodate very many people. What idioit wants to support Comeges anyway.

PS --

Just heard that this invitation was included in the envelope with that letter Richard Insley recently sent to all his "clients" trashing Bob Caldwell, Jim Ireton, Debbie Campbell and Tim Chaney.

I'll bet that Insley's serfs would be impressed enough with T.J. Baloney to become his tenants.

Give Vinny the benefit of the doubt. The post didn't say that he supported either candidate in any way. It just stated that a party was booked at his restaurant. It's business - you book if you are paid.

Why isn't Steve Grant having them over to his mansion on the river. Come on, a penthouse on the Wicomico. Hmmm I think I can answer this myself. Can't have it down in Eden/Allen the stench from the WWTP flows in that direction.

Come on Joe, you have so many good things to say but yet you do this? First, I support Bob and Debbie but if you will recall Vinny's has done many things for most of the candidates. He supports the community!

In fact TJ Maloney is a great guy and HE DOES do a lot for this community even though he supports Gary. Many of Gary's supporters do a lot for this community and many are great people, good people.

Steve Grants family did a wonderful job organizing the walk for Brooke.

Stop this. Joe, you offer a great service to the community but when you lower yourself with your comments in a post it just ruin the good that you do. Your recent article about Somerset Cty Sheriff was excellent. You really did make a difference. But then you get low with this post. Why?

Yes, I like TJ, Steve, Dawn...they are good people and support many charities - they make this community better whether you agree with their politics or not. Cut this out.

anonymous 12:14,

I never said I didn't like any of these people. I also never attacked them. If you're such good friends with tham, as you claim, why didn't you sign your name?

Nevertheless, it's their party/event, have a great time. Just be sure to wash your feet before you go. Aftyer all, it is a sock party.

Forgive me for being daft but isnt the Maloney guy ALSO a Salisbury landlord?Im seeing a pattern here!I hope Jim I. whips him in the election.

Funny how jealousy works...... why don't you stop hiding and step to the plate. I support Gray, and no-one can say my building is not a real asset to Salisbury. Yes, sales are slow, the economy has us all, but guess what...... I can carry Riverside untill most of you are gone. Steve Grant

TJ Maloney is a lightweight bag of wind, just like Comegys.
Maloney is a joke as a lawyer and Comegys is a joke as a politician.
Who would pay to hang out with those clowns?

Anonymous said...

T.J. Baloney lol now that was funny. His has his hands in alot of stuff. Hmmmm The realeastate maggots, I mean agents soory for the slip. really i mean it. The pushed the tax cap and look where we are. Only person missing from this party is Don where's my Coffin. Coffin. V.O.I.C.E. I think it was. Realators got fat the people got the shaft. 50% of the financial trouble in this country was banking the the crooked realestate brokers.

Debbie and Jim I am there you guys are great.

Yes he is a Slumlord and is or was president of SAPOA!!!

Yeah this guy is a class act! Someone that I would want to support me in my run for Mayor. Known drug abuser and someone who abuses the judicial system because of influence and money. This guy has a bar tab at the Market Street Inn bigger than most people make in a year. Market Street Inn, Steve Grant, Bubba, the Mare? Connect the dots.

Gary, why do all your supporters live outside the city of Salisbury?

Since when did supporting charities make someone a good person?

And how does someone who is unable to do that get to a "good person" or are they just voted off the island ASAP???

This is about the most queer thing I have every heard...This truly shows the maturity level of these morons! I could see Obama's daughters having a "sock hop" but grown men and women getting together and kicking their shoes off to raise money? Come on...Maybe this orgy is just a practice session for their plans to screw the citizens of Salisbury! If you go, don't expect any lube to be provided at the door and surely there will be no reach arounds....

anon 1:37

That's his son. I'm pretty sure we're talking Steve Grant Sr here.

And I have to say, I don't support Gary. I believe that he becoming mayor would be the worst scenario for Salisbury. Nothing personal Gary, I just think you are too indebted to the wrong people and your track record is not indicative of one who I feel deserves full control. Why have we not heard from you on a public level explaining many of the accusations that have appeared here on this blog? My guess is that most of it is true and there is simply no excuse.

That being said 1:37, there is a way to convey your opinion on an opponent and their supporters without being hateful and slanderous. Just because someone has money and obviously a vested interest in who takes office, doesn't make them a bad person. Why would anyone shoot themselves in the foot? If I were on SAPOA and I had a rental property business, I would want to look out for myself and my family. No different than if I owned one house in Pinehurst and was supporting a candidate who was in favor of 4-2. It is my right to choose and I shouldn't be ridiculed for practicing survival of the fittest. This nation is still a Capitalist nation.

FYI
I am voting for Ireton and Caldwell.

Judge not lest ye be judged first.

I certainly don't condemn any of my constiuants for voting for Obama and opening the door for Socialism.

And to answer your question of why most of his supporters live outside the city limits..Tell me, where inside the city limits can I build my custom dream home of $500k and do so near comparable properties???....there simply is a better quality of life living outside the city limits. Many, many business owners here in Salisbury live outside the city limits. Fact is, many of these business owners deserve the right to vote in city elections. Some more than residents. A student here for 1-5 years has the right to vote if they rent inside the city limits. A business owner of 50 years, living in Nithsdale, does not. Now who in this scenario has a MORE vested interest. I would bet a survey would determine the latter. Sure there are a few good residential spots left in town, but this town is deteriorated from years past.

Oh and by the way, if you're going to bash someone, GROW SOME BALLS AND POST YOUR NAME.

On a side note, Vinny your are still the man. If Comegys campaign wants to pay me to use my facility, I'll take it. The price may be inflated, but I'll take it. Green is green.

Maloney is a sheister, we all know this. Vinny doesn't need to be reprimanded for running a business and making money off this event. We all know business is slow, especially in the discretionary markets, i.e. restaurants. Vinny is making money for his business and all of his employees who all pay taxes that go back to the community. To be angry because someone else eats at the same restaurant is just ignorant. Forget these jokers but don't penalize a long standing local business. I will still eat there, seared tuna with hot spinach salad, yumm.

Anonymous said...

Dave C., they're probably holding this "dance" because they heard what an amazing turnout Ireton had at his Valentine's Dance fundraiser and the amount of money he raised. You've got to remember, Gary has no original ideas, he's constantly copying the playbook of Debbie and Jim. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I think Gary has a crush on Jim.

Anonymous said...

1:37 YOUR POINT ? First off, wrong Steve Grant, 2nd a traffic charge, come on you can do better than that. Lastly, the real Steve Grant can buy Market Street a hundred times, so he has a bar tab, your just upset your drinks arn't on it.

Anonymous said...

Amen SICKOFPOLITICS!!!! God forbid any side keeps it out of the gutter. This is why I stay anonymous, the few times I expressed my opinion the crazy's on both sides attacked me personally for not agreeing with them. This is SICK. Can anyone just stick with the facts.

I know many people that support Gary who are STELLAR individuals. Yes they work and support local non profits and also live a good life. They talk the talk and walk the walk. If they support someone any of you all are against, you attack.

I have been to several fundraising events outside Salisbury FOR our candidates. Joe stop posting these types of things just to encourage the crazy people...on both sides. Yes we need change NOW but this solves nothing.

PS Friend went to buy house on river at auction had to back out when he found out his City of Salisbury taxes annually alone were going to be $30k! For what? Absurd. No one can afford to live in the city including the wealthy, it is just throwing money away.

I was at that same auction and walked away because of the taxes.
