Lingle clearly wanted a “cheering section” on her side to balance the righteous indignation and anger of Kauai residents which certainly knew she would hear at her presentation. Also, the more seats her paid cheering squad took up, the fewer seats were available for you folks, which suited her just fine, I am sure.

The Superferry controversy is showing Lingle to be just as much a thug and a tyrant her buddies George and Dick in the White House.

It was infuriating that my daughter and I, actual Kauai residents, had to wait 30 minutes outside the convention hall on Sept. 20, while Superferry employees flown over from Oahu occupied precious seats inside. We eventually got in, but not in time to ask the Gov. a question. Why don’t they meet with the Gov. on Oahu? SUPERSLIMY!

With regard to the media’s failure to cover the Governor’s threat of Child Protective Services investigations, that is par for the course. As you have pointed out, there are so many questions that they should be asking the Governor and are not.

It’s also a crack-up that on Tenbruggencate’s last column, the Tizer copy editor ended it with a blurb telling you how to reach Tenbruggencate at the Advertiser.
