Cole's Neighbor Threatens Police Investigation
Cole's Buddies Want this Site Investigated
It really is amazing to watch people when they are cornered during an election cycle. They squirm. They shriek. They threaten. They say plain nutso stuff. On the eve of the 2006 Vienna election we received an email from Mary Skorik-Andrews of 211 Owaissa Court. Mary just happens to be a former neighbor of Laurie Cole (at 200 Owaissa Court) for many years. Mary wrote in today accusing the writers of this site of acting like 'cowards', using 'slander' and being 'vicious'. More from Mary:
"What have you done for the good of this community. This hysterical blog is not a tagible [sic] good for public discourse. Perhaps if you went about your allegations and concerns in a more civilized way people would take you seriously. Sunlight kills mold. In a town this small it is difficult to do business with a stranger. Why would someone who lives in a glass house throw so many stones? But I digress. I suppose the question is why do I waste my valuable time discoursing with you? Perhaps your accusations against so many people in the town are worth merit. Your sensationalist way of presenting them only harms your case. Remember the bad karma that visited Lee Atwater for his slimy style of politics and communication."
Mary, thanks for the death wish! We will take it under advisement... Mary also threatened police investigations upon the writers of this site and expressed hope that certain Vienna businesses would suffer for exposing Cole's profiteering. Mary is a real peach eh? She also rambled on how those suing over the historic district will just make big piles of money, yada, yada. Next! This is all to be expected when you expose the soft underbelly of government and money sleeping together. We do wonder why Mrs. Cole didn't write the email herself? Why send a neighbor, who is out to lunch so to speak, to do your dirty work? Lastly, would it surprise you if we said that Mary lived across the court from Steve Bukont?
