Response

Robin Yess's website has a post which includes a copy of an article written by one of her hangers on in defense of her silliness. Mocking Robin is mentioned in the article. One of the things the author writes is that he contacted Mocking Robin through our comments section to ask for an interview.

This is true. He did make contact with us. After a long discussion, we took a vote about whether to respond. The vote was almost unanimous. Only one of us wanted to answer his questions.

The reason we decided to ignore his request is simple. He is not unbiased. He was obviously writing a fluff piece to defend the reprehensible attack blog run by Robin Yess and her ridiculous little band of crotchety complainers.

The person who wrote the piece has a blog which is full of weird things. In April, he posted a vide which claimed to prove that JFK was shot by his own driver. He said that an anti-terrorist exercise by the Kingston PD was an experiment in martial law. In a post he called "Books or Boobs?" he put up a photo of a woman with massive breasts, cupping them to hold them up and added underneath: "I wasn't thinking of Sheyla Hershey, who has the world's largest breasts, when I wrote the headline, but a picture of her boobs is more interesting than one of O'Reilly the boob." He calls Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich "goofballs like Rick Sanitarium and Speaker Newt Moonbeam."

When writing about Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory TV show, he says "I think Jesse Ventura is performing a major public service. Whether the power plant in Alaska is really a Tesla death ray machine or there were bombs used at the World Trade Center on 9/11 are grist for Ventura's imagination."

He seems to fit in just fine with Robin's paranoid little cabal.

For the record, we did not post his comments because they were not actually comments. They were private messages to the writers at Mocking Robin. we knew he would take a few quotes and use them out of context but that's OK. That's what Robin and her followers do. We stand by what we have written on this blog since we started it. Robin is an angry, bitter person who does not understand that she was not forced out of her republican chair position by a conspiracy. She was forced out by her own incompetence. The same people who voted her in made her resign. You can either say they were right both times or they were wrong both times. To say they were right when they gave her what she wanted and wrong when they took it away from her is just proof of how self centered Robin really is.

Just because this person writes a biased piece for a small local paper doesn't change the truth.

Smarter Charter

Robin Yess's latest post is a doozy. She proves that she doesn't understand the way government works. She accuses Terry Bernardo of manipulating the county charter revision process just because the laws and rules committee did not totally accept the report of the charter revision commission. What Robin is saying is that just because the Legislature is chaired by Bernardo, it should abandon its duties and not review and modify the changes suggested by the commission. She wants to replace the judgment of people elected by the voters with the suggestions of an appointed commission.

No wonder Robin couldn't run the republican committee. She doesn't even understand how democracy works.

The Charter says "Within five years after the enactment of this Charter, and at least every 10 years thereafter, a Charter Revision Commission shall be appointed to review and make recommendations to the County Executive and Legislature on amendments, additions or revisions to this County Charter."

Recommendations, Robin. Do you understand English? Recommendations.

That does not mean anybody is supposed to accept those suggestions without questions. The commission is made up of our neighbors. They aren't dictators. What is really disrespectful to these people is to assume that they would be insulted or feel disrespected because the legislature does not consider them to be God. These people are adults and knew when they went in there that their suggestions would be reviewed and modified. You want to treat them with respect? Don't act as if they are children and need to be protected. And don't use them as a political weapon.

And why does Robin feel the need to point out that Richard Cahill didn't attend as many meetings as the others? Is this another shot at Cahill, who is being viciously attacked by Robin's Kerhonkson pit bull? Cahill joined the commission later. Of course he didn't attend as many meetings as the other members did. Making mention of that without being clear about the reason is just nasty.

We at Mocking Robin believe that the list of people who Robin owes an apology to is growing by the day. And it is getting really, really long.

New blog

We just received a comment about a new blog called Ulster Asylum. It's pretty funny. Looks like Robin and her stupid friends are pissing off more people all the time.

We at Mocking Robin say The more the merrier.

Discriminating Minds

Robin Yess's Kerhonkson Kook buddy is at it again. Doesn't this guy get it?

First he reposts a comment attacking Len Bernardo for hurrying a zumba group out of his riunk when a group of Jewish boys was coming in "to make sure that a group of boys didn lay eyes on us lest their religion blow up in their faces..."

Then, he posts a piece claiming his ditzy wife not winning anything is the result of discrimination.

Is the Kerhonkson Kook really this dumb? Or is it that he just doesn't care that people know what a hypocrite he is when he uses prejudiced remarks to attack Bernardo but then uses the discrimination card to benefit his wife?

Either way, if these are the kinds of people Robin counts on, her little group of misfits is screwed.

Foiled Part Two

Yesterday, we reported that Robin Yess was trying to make hay out of the normal way FOIL requests are handled by the county. This morning, a comment appeared on Robin's website. It supposedly came from Walter Frey although a later commenter questioned that. Somebody will probably make fun of the typos because Robin's supporters don't understand that when people post from their phones, typos happen.

We think it probably did come from Frey. The comment had to be posted by someone who understands the way the process works.

A couple of us know him although some of us never met him. Those of us at Mocking Robin who do know him think the republicans and the independence party made a big mistake in not nominating him. He was no doubt a better choice than the one they made.

Those who don't know Frey have no opinion on the question.

What none of us can figure out is why someone like Frey would ever hook up with a basket of nutjobs like the Liberty Coalition. He is obviously way out of their league.

Frey's comment from Robin's website:

The audio files are not posted. Only a transcript of the meeting. Then the minutes are approved by commituutee before being posted….I would bet that the transcript are not done yet or approved. Vicky is doing her job so don’t shoot the messenger. Vicky has return to a office dysfunctionality. With the loss of the person that kept that office together and running professionaly Karen Binder, god rest her soul. Don’t except things to be the same for a long time.

Walter Frey

Curses. Foiled again.

Now Robin Yess is showing how far she has to stretch to make a point. She is complaining that the County told her she has to wait 7-10 days for a response to a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request. And she's trying to make it out like it's some big anti-Robin conspiracy. Can we spell PARANOID?

Come on. Letters like that are standard responses. First, they have to find the thing being asked for and then the lawyers have to make sure that it is eligible for release under Freedom of Information. If it contains sensitive materials like employee personal information, it can't be released.

The thing she is asking for is an audio file. It's not something a lawyer can just skim through. He actually has to sit down and listen to the whole thing.

So just chill out and wait your turn. Impatience is for children. Oh wait. For a second we forgot this was Robin Yess we were talking about.

More Kookery

The Kerhonkson Kook has obviously either lost his mind or is just trying to cause more damage to a well known republican. Now he's accusing Richard Cahill (a man who has proven total loyalty to the republican party many many times) of running for mayor of Kingston as the conservative party candidate only because he wanted to hand the election to Shayne Gallo.

This is stupid. Cahill has never done anything to help a democrat. Even the idea is idiotic. Besides, Polacco never had a chance and Levin was the worst possible candidate to every run for mayor of Kingston. Those two are as incompetent as Robin Yess who everyone knew was secretly backing Levin.

If the Kook actually believes this crap about third party candidates, why did his dizzy wife run on a made up third party line against the republican nominee last year? Why did he help Robin push 2 other candidates on that line? Why is he part of a group which wants to unseat 7 republican legislators using that same line?

This entire post on the kook's blog is about 2 things. He wants to hurt Cahill because Cahill dared criticize him and he wants people to think Robin made the right choice in backing Levin.

Why is the Kerhonkson Kook such a hypocrite?

Comment on Smokey's Blog

A comment appeared this morning on the Kerhonkson Kook's blog. We're just going to copy and paste it here. It speaks for itself. What more could we possibly add?

I do live in Accord and I used to support you and Manu. I thought the whole porno accusation was terrible. I worked the United Rochester phonebank in 2007 to get Manu elected. As a republican woman I thought it was great that we republicans had a woman on the town board.

Then I watched you guys change. You turned on everyone who helped you. Alot of us know how much Ohalloran and Chipman and others helped you. You screwed over all of them. Alot of us know about the stupid fight about the flagpole at the veteran’s memorial. We know how the power went to Manu’s head and how she went into the Youth Commission and started giving everyone orders.

We know how every time someone criticized either of you even a little, you turned your mean spirited poison pen on them. You are a very unpleasant man. Why anyone would want to associate with you is beyond me,

I was excited to be involved in politics 6 years ago. I thought I was finally doing something to help change things for the better. After I saw how dirty you made everything I got out. Thanks alot, Jon. You and Manu ruined it for me and a lot of others. You could have done some real good. You chose to make it all about you. You and people like you are exactly why people don’t like politics.

20 Questions

Since Robin and her Lollipop Guild are so hung up on who we really are, we'll make them an offer. Let's play 20 Questions. You ask 20 yes or no questions (no names in the questions, though) and we'll answer them. They still won't be able to figure out who we are.

It is interesting, though, that they have accused us of being everyone from Mr. Clean to the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man. Do these multiple guesses mean they have finally accepted that we are more than one person? Or are they just throwing darts in the dark hoping they'll hit something?

The real problem is that they can't stand a dose of their own medicine. They have insulted and dragged several people through the mud and nobody said anything. All we are doing is playing by their rules. If Robin's good pal can call people "weasels," we can call them stupid. The only difference is we have real proof and they just talk talk talk with nothing to back them up.

Geographic traffic

It seems that the Smokeboy has gotten his panties in a bunch over Mocking Robin saying he lives in Accord. On his wispy little blog, he quotes us as using Accord instead of Kerhonkson as his address. He has also purposely misquoted us, so we're going to give you the actual quotes. Just to clear the record.

The first one is almost accurate. He says that we wrote:

"We at Mocking Robin kept warning that schmuck from Accord but he was just too stupid to listen. He just had to keep sticking his ugly face inside the hornet's nest..."

What we actually wrote was:

"We kept warning that schmuck from Accord but he was too stupid to listen. He just had to keep sticking his ugly face inside the hornet's nest."

OK, close enough. And the next one is correct except for the extra dots he added after the word stupid, but we have no problem with that. He must have nervous fingers when typing:

"What's really sad is not that our good friend from Accord is stupid... It's that he is so stupid he thinks he's smart and doesn't realize that he is severely IQ deficient. A true useless idiot."

But  the next one was edited together from two separate quotes. He claims we wrote:

"We at Mocking robin wonder what the stupid gnomelike asskissers from Accord think of this kind of dealmaking..."

What we really said was:

"We at Mocking Robin wonder what Robin's two Accord buddies think of this kind of dealmaking."

And

"Robin's pride is making her the laughing stock of Ulster county. Along with her nasty and stupid gnomelike asskissers from Accord."

None of this is really a big deal. We wrote what we wrote and we stand by it. He quoted us saying things about him and we don't deny we wrote them:

• A schmuck
• Ugly
• Stupid
• IQ deficient
• A useless idiot
• Gnomelike
• An asskisser
• From Accord

We just have one thing to note. Out of this whole list, the only thing he objected to, the only thing he said we were wrong about was him living in Accord. Wow. The last thing we expected was for Smokey to agree with us on so many things!

Turns out he actually lives in Kerhonkson. We apologize. To those of us in the north of the county, Accord and Kerhonkson are more or less the same place. We at Mocking Robin pride ourselves on accuracy. From now on, he will be the Kerhonkson Kook.

Liberty Coalition group photo

We heard from some people that Robin's Liberty Coalition may or may not have had a July 4th barbecue this weekend. We are disappointed that we were not invited although we do understand. A few of our little group would eat anything they see. Robin would have run out of food if we came.

We are lucky, though, that someone sent us the group photo of the three leaders of this Liberty Coalition. Can anyone recognize the one who ran for county legislature from Accord and lost big time?

Just a note

We received a comment this morning alleging that someone had killed someone else. We decided not to allow it to be posted. If you believe someone has committed a crime, contact the police. That is the place to accuse someone of a crime.

If you want to use the words kill or murder, you need to understand that those words actually mean something under the law. Only a sick mind would use those words without proof of a crime.

Smokey the Bore

The guy who runs that smokehouse website in Accord is too funny. He has been all over the map accusing anyone and everyone of running Mocking Robin. It is clearly driving him crazy that he can't figure it out.

Well, we aren't about to tell him. This is just too much fun. It's like watching a a dog who can't smell trying to find his treats.

We will give him 3 hints, though.

1. We're more than one person. He and Robin hate that idea because they want everyone to believe they are the ones fighting for the little guy. If there is a group of people out there who can't stand their nasty, hateful crap that makes it hard for them to keep claiming that they are something they aren't.

2. We have people in our group who used to be close to Robin and we have people who used to be close to the Accord Dork. Both these arrogant fools have a history of driving people away who have helped them. Most people thank those who help them out. Robin and the Dysfunctional Duo all tell their friends  "It's my way or the highway." The things we have heard these three say to and about people would make your hair curl.

3. We do not have any current or former county legislators or republican or independence party leaders as part of our group. We can narrow it down a little more for you, too. We don't have state assemblymen, state senators, congressmen, US senators, members of the cabinet or Supreme Court judges in our group. One of our members stayed in a Holiday Express in Idaho last week and another was a Cub Scout for several years. Coincidentally, she and Robin were the only female members of the Cub Scouts ever. lmao

That's all you get. Keep guessing, Sherlock.


Oh, and it's kind of funny that Smokey makes a point of telling everyone that he doesn't run the Ulster County Cloakroom blog. Why is it that the only link on Smokey's blogroll which doesn't appear on Ulster County Cloakroom's blogroll is Ulster County Cloakroom itself? Hmm???

We're not going to play guessing games but it seems a little too coincidental. rofl

Too funny

We must really be getting under Robin's skin. She just launched a direct attack on Mocking Robin. Just not a very intelligent one. We have to assume that she is learning the fine art of taking quotes out of context because she put up a list of quotes from both this blog and her own petty website trying to make it look like she is something other than what she is.

The funniest one is where she lists four political points to make herself look like she cares about principles. Actions speak louder than words though. Even though every once in a while she talks about some political ideas, the only thing she is doing when it comes to action is trying to unseat Terry Bernardo. Look at the ridiculous letter she sent to Roger Rascoe. In her own words, "We intend to spend every penny we raise to elect a new Chair of the Legislature and to get rid of all of Bernardo’s poorly chosen appointees..."

She doesn't care about principles. She says that she will spend every cent she raises (which won't be much) to attack Terry Bernardo. Those are her words. Not ours.

She also calls us at Mocking Robin RINOs. First, she keeps assuming that this blog is written by one person because she can't stand the idea that several people would band together to show the county who she is. Second, it's kind of hypocritical for someone who jumps from party to party and who has abandoned the republican party she once sort of led to call others Republicans In Name Only.

So here's a list of just a few of the ways Robin has shown herself to be a hypocrite.

1. She attacked Richard Cahill for running on a third party ticket against a republican in Kingston last year while she created a third party line and ran three candidates against republicans at the same time.

2. She attacked the Bernardos for not creating enough jobs at their skating rink after being given a tax break. Not that they created no jobs. Just that they did not create enough jobs. At the same time, her closest buddies in Accord erased half a million bucks in debt in bankruptcy and never created a single job. That's not a problem for Robin. But creating some jobs is a problem. Has Robin ever created jobs?

3. She criticized Mario Catalano for his decisions as republican chairman and for not raising enough money but Robin made no real decisions as chairwoman and showed herself to be at least as bad at fundraising if not worse.

4. She criticizes us for being anonymous but has no problem with tons of nasty comments attacking anyone she doesn't like on her website. For the record, we are anonymous because she and her Accord pit crew would rather attack the messenger than answer the real questions being raised. She did that in her last post. Robin never answers any real criticisms. She just cherry picks the things she wants to answer and then she answers those things badly.

5. She gets annoyed at stinging criticism, especially if it is somehow insulting to her. But she is real happy to let her talentless artist buddy throw vicious things at anybody she or he dislike. The things on his website are much much worse than anything we have ever written. We know we're not gentle here but his two sites look like they were written by rats eating each other.

Robin is a hypocrite. That's the way it is. But we're glad she finds us so annoying. It makes it all worthwhile.

Holy smoke!

We kept warning that schmuck from Accord but he was too stupid to listen. He just had to keep sticking his ugly face inside the hornet's nest. Now Richard Cahill has struck back. Hard.

Cahill posted a long, long piece on just who this clown is. We're not going to rehash everything Cahill wrote but it's worth reading. We knew the Accord Ass was a jerk. His own website shows us that. But we never knew all the details. Cahill puts it all out there. Holy smoke!

What does Lame Ass have to say in response? He puts up a highly intelligent post claiming the Cahill is a useful idiot. Anyone who has ever met Cahill knows that he is anything but an idiot. He's one of the smartest people you could ever meet.

What's really sad is not that our good friend from Accord is stupid. It's that he is so stupid he thinks he's smart and doesn't realize that he is severely IQ deficient. A true useless idiot.

We at Mocking Robin just have to wonder what that makes Robin Yess for allying with him? Is she just as stupid and doesn't realize the people she's hooked up with are dumb? Or does she know and is using them anyway?

Which is worse?
