As if there weren't enough fake political endorsement groups put together by Jefferson Parish's Minister of Propaganda Greg Buisson, he is now using ads in the Kenner Star to lie to the public about endorsements for his client, Kenner District 5 Councilman and JP District 4 candidate Dominick Impastato.
Buisson's idol, the Nazi Propagandist Joseph Goebbels said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
Since Dominick Impastato himself is repeating the lie, HE obviously believes it.
In a full page ad in Kenner Star featuring a message from our own pathological lying Mayor, and fellow Buisson client, Ben Zahn, the headline reads:
"Kenner's Mayor, a Majority of the Kenner City Council, Kenner's Chief of Police, and 100% of our elected Eastbank Jefferson Parish Councilmembers all agree that Dominick Impastato is our best choice for Councilman."
The problem is - that isn't true.
Let's dissect the lies.
"A Majority of the Kenner City Council" - If you include Impastato himself (and one hopes that HE is endorsing himself), there are 7 Council members. A "Majority" of 7 is 4.
If you don't count Impastato, and you really shouldn't, there are 6 Council members. Since 6 is an even number, a "Majority" is still 4.
District 2 Councilman Mike Sigur and District 4 Councilman Lenny Cline, both Buisson clients, have endorsed Impastato.
At-Large Councilwoman Maria DeFrancesch and District 3 Councilman Keith Reynaud have endorsed State Senator Danny Martiny.
At-Large Councilman Tom Willmott and District 1 Councilman Gregory Carroll have not endorsed anyone.
So, in what universe does 2 (Sigur and Cline) equal a "Majority" of 6?
Impastato and Buisson must be using Common Core math.
Now, let's look at the JP Council statement:
"100% of our elected Eastbank Jefferson Parish Councilmembers all agree" - again, not true.
Currently, there are 3 "elected" District Councilmembers and 2 "elected" At-Large Councilmembers representing the Eastbank. All 3 "elected" District Councilmembers (Johnston, Spears and Van Vrancken) are Buisson Clients and are, of course, endorsing fellow Buisson client Impastato.
Both At-Large Councilmembers, Chris Roberts and Cynthia Lee-Sheng, have endorsed Martiny.
3 out of 5 is NOT 100%.
In addition to the ad in the Kenner Star, Impastato has been publicly and privately making the same endorsement claims.
Like Sigur, Cline, Johnston, Spears and Van Vrancken, Zahn and Kenner's Police Chief Mike Glaser ARE Buisson clients.
In fact, Zahn is probably still making installment payments to Buisson for his win over me in 2011 and Glaser paid Buisson over $16,000 in 2014 despite running unopposed. Glaser paid Buisson another $200 in 2016 to design a fundraising invitation a full two years before his next election (in which he will probably run unopposed).
So, what the Kenner Star ad should have said is, "100% of Greg Buisson's Clients All Agree".
But, that wouldn't look or sound good, now would it?
Somewhere, probably in Hell, Joseph Goebbels is smiling.
