Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Fame

Michael Gartner was honored Friday, by the Iowa Dummycrat Party, with their Outstanding Supporter Hall of Fame Award.

The award honors an individual who has supported the Iowa Democratic Party and all aspects of Democratic politics throughout the years. This individual has selflessly been a resource to Iowa Democrats through means of organizational efforts, monetary support, volunteer work, and overall steadfast dedication.

Gartner took his time at the podium to read aloud some of the planks of the Republican platform.

“I would be embarrassed to be a Republican in Iowa these days,” he concluded to loud applause.

Gartner should be embarrassed about the piddly rent ($1 or $2 a year, if I recall) he pays to the City of Des Moines for the use of Principal Park.

Forbes magazine listed the Iowa Cubs, as the 15th Most Valuable Team in Minor League Baseball at $19 Million.

The Iowa Cubs generate $9 Million in Revenue, with an Operating Income (Earnings before Taxes, Interest and Depreciation) of $1.7 Million.

Somebody's not paying his fair share, which allows him to make Dummycrat coffers richer.

Gartner, pictured, better pray the taxpayers don't get wise and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The picture of Gartner we borrowed from onetime Register Sportswriter Ron Maly, who has Gartner listed on his blog as Official Asshole.

Having worked with him, he'd know.
