Democrat Mayor Sheila Dixon Gives Press The Middle Finger

Too funny:

Baltimore Mayor Sheila A. Dixon said Wednesday that a photo of her in Tuesday’s The Daily Record was a “low blow.”

In the photo, which was shot at a city council luncheon Monday, Dixon has her middle finger raised between her eyes and is looking directly at the camera. Her spokesman said she was adjusting her glasses.

“I have a habit of using my fingers to put my glasses up,” Dixon said at a news conference that was broadcast on WJZ-TV. “I really think that, that was a low blow, and I really did not appreciate it, but, you know, such is life in this business. Now I’m going to be very careful how I put my glasses on and how I adjust them. But, you know, I really think that was a low blow.”

The photo was taken by The Daily Record staff photographer Rich Dennison after two photographers and at least one camera crew were let back into the city council’s lunch chamber Monday afternoon. They, along with two other cameramen, had been ejected from the public meeting by members of Dixon’s staff just moments after the mayor consulted with her chief of staff, Demaune A. Millard.

Call it kind of ironic that a Democrat would give a big 'F U' to a press corps that did so much to help them take over Congress and the White House, but considering that Dixon is a liberal politician, her lack of class, much less dignity shouldn't surprise anyone.

Sheila Dixon Continues The Democratic Culture of Corruption

Baltimore mayor Sheila Dixon shows us that even gender can't get in the way of Black mayors of large U.S. cities getting into a heap of trouble with the law:

A Maryland grand jury on Friday indicted Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon on 12 criminal counts, including theft and perjury, for alleged official misconduct beginning when she was a councilwoman.

A number of the charges relate to gifts that prosecutors say Ms. Dixon received from developers, including her former boyfriend, Ronald Lipscomb, and didn't properly disclose. Mr. Lipscomb isn't named in the indictment but was charged with bribery this week in Baltimore. His lawyer has said he is innocent.

In addition, the Maryland prosecutor's office charged that for four years Ms. Dixon misused holiday gift cards that were intended to be distributed to needy families. Prosecutors say she gave them to members of her staff and used them to buy herself electronics and clothing.

Ms. Dixon said in a statement that she had been unfairly accused, adding: "I am confident that I will be found innocent of these charges." She said she wouldn't step down as mayor.

Sheila Dixon = Clarence Royce. But then the real city of Baltimore, heavily Democratic and 65% Black as it is, probably wouldn't have the guts to ever elect a white mayor.
