INSIDE PERSONAL SOURCE SAYS CACCAVIELLO WILL NOT PURSUE A STICKER CAMPAIN FOR D.A.
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY SEPT. 17, 2018) — Acting D.A. Paul Caccaviello will not attempt a write in candidacy against Democratic nominee Andrea Harrington, according to a well-placed source who requested anonymity. The source, self-described as a “close confidante” of Cacc, also says it appears “likely” that Harrington will not ask him to remain in the D.A.’s office, though “that hasn’t been fully determined.”
THE PLANET asked if Cacc wants to stay on, and our source replied, “I don’t know, but I think he’s planning for something else,” including private practice or retirement. If he steps down, “I don’t see him taking a lot of time off. Maybe some, but he would want to stay involved.” Another source, closer to the campaign than Caccaviello’s personal inner circle, denied a decision has been made and would not elaborate.
Our judgment here is that the first source has a more intimate, more up-to-date knowledge of what the second source called “a fluid situation.” THE PLANET will read tea leaves: There will not be a runoff. Democratic bosses have put a lot of pressure and brought muscle to bear on Caccaviello, essentially telling him not to “sticker himself to political death.” Who are the bosses? No one would name names, though the names would likely include Congressman Richie Neal and Pittsfield attorney and former state rep Sherwood Guernsey.
A Harrington source told THE PLANET that she is “disinclined” to want Caccaviello to remain in her office. We asked why, since he would add a wealth of experience. Could it be pure politics? The source answered with a chuckle and said, “I didn’t say that. You did.” This campaign produced the usual amount of rancor, hurt feelings, and mistrust to believe there’s little chance of Caccaviello staying on with the D.A. as a second banana.
When we asked for specifics of how Harrington would affect the change that she promised in the campaign, The H source said that part of the “new thrust” under Harrington will be to “pursue a cultural change.” But what does that mean, specifically, as it translates into the day-to-day running of the office? That questions remains undefined. It sounds like the softer, more understanding approach to crime that has the hard-liners in knots. They see it as coddling, an enabling of young drug offenders and other criminals that will backfire. Will it work, or will it exacerbate the near-out-of-control issues that plague Pittsfield and to some extent the rest of the county: Drugs, gangs, domestic violence, break-ins, robberies, and the like?
If this “fluid” scenario holds true and Cacc does indeed eschew a sticker run, Harrington has a clear path to office, leaving us with the uncertainty of the question: Is she ready? Is she qualified? Will she be able to handle the hot seat? Critics point to her inexperience and her “soft” approach. Supporters try to paint a different picture. Her so-called lack of experience means she comes into office with the kind of clean slate required for a fresh approach to take hold. She won’t be saddled, they say, by “old-boy GOB white guys. It’s their time to go.”
THE PLANET has not seen anything yet from Harrington to justify either view. She was savvy enough to win a tough race against a seated incumbent, who had the backing of “the right people.” As far as criminal justice and the requirement now upon her to be the top law enforcement official in Berkshire County, perhaps she knows what she’s doing. Perhaps not. It remains to be seen. The barometer for whether or not her campaign was all politics or an occasion marking a new and better era for the D.A.’s office will be in her performance in office, simple as that.
The true story of this campaign lies hidden as a low but emanating buzz that, as the time goes by between now and the November 2019 elections, will become more pronounced and evident. There’s an internal civil war being fought in the local Democratic establishment. The old guard is trying to maintain power. The newbies are climbing up the hill, and they want to knock the kingpins for a loop. Mark THE PLANET’s words: The ultimate showdown in this war will come in the 2019 municipal elections.

Sherwood Gurensy is the biggest boob in Berkshire County. It’s not a good idea to take his advice.
Frank jackablowzits is in the same league as sherwarts goonzee. Have to agree with you12.
12 Have you ever heard of another idiot by the name of jackarabitobozomoscowitz?
Gauge. Have you ever heard of another idiot by the name of frank jackalop o bozo twitz? He is an idiots idiot.Different party same idiot. Where do these people come from?
Former FBI agent Frank Jackwagonobowitz served in the mass legislature under 3 criminal speakers. The Boston FBI was under the control of Whitey Bulger when Franky boy was there. What a disgrace . And Franky boy was and is a dem.
Sherwood Guernsey will never be the biggest boob in Berkshire County during your lifetime.
TM. He already is. Most of your posts make very little sense. Which city politician are you. You sound like a member of the incompetent 8.
Now Sherwood’s in third place as he’ll never be the biggest boob while either of you continue to live. Back to the Senior Center now.
TM As I said you never make any sense. Your case is closed
Dan – I believe your information pointing to Caccaviello nixing a write-in campaign is likely correct. Mostly because the odds of winning would be slim, and the cost to his reputation would be permanent. Would earn him a special place in the pantheon of pathetic Pittsfield political history.
JK I don’t agree. Harrington is so agregiously unqualified and inexperienced that he would be doing the district a favor by runing as a write in candidate. Normally I would say that the write in route would be a long shot but this case is extraordinary in that just about everyone knows that Harrington is a puppet of the gobsig network and Pittsfield bucked the trend by throwing the gobsig candidate under the bus. I believe cacacwould pick up the bulk of Knights supporters and even some who supported Harrington might realize they made a mistake and vote for Cacaviello. There is every reason why he should run and not many good reasons why he shouldn’t If I were him I would give it a shot.There is nothing to lose by running and everything to lose by not. Most importantly we would have a seasoned experienced DA verses a gobsig elected nobody like secretary three I say go for it Paul.
The accusations about me being John Krol are amusing, at least to me. They may not be so amusing to Mr. Krol. And so, this open invitation: Mr. Krol, if you ever feel any of the defamatory statements directed towards you are worthy of litigation, reach out to me. I will confirm that I am not you, lol.
Moving on, Art Seller, you are fossil who believes that if 20 people are thrown into jail and 15 are actually guilty, all is right with the world.
You just. Don’t. Get. It. It’s about integrity, the pursuit of justice rather than statistics, a need to do the MORALLY right thing at every turn. DA’s have the power to destroy lives, on both sides of the crime equation. Without morality, we are lost. And I will tell you, unequivocally, that David Capeless was LOST. And CAccaviello did nothing, at best.
Now go away. You have lost . Bye.
Sure sounds like Krol.
I recognize certain of Krol’s pet phrases posted by Cicero. He should post as CicerZero
Jk fossil I love it.yes I have been around a long time and learned plenty and it is plainly evident you are a loser who couldn’t find your way out of a room with a thousand doors I assume you were throwing a stone at Mr.Gaetanis The Wiz’s dog bucky is ill do you think you could fill his spot? Buckey is very smart and listens very carefully when the G man talks. You are welcome to take buckey’s spot but do as he does. Keep your mouth shut and no one will know how stupid you are. Incidentally the G man is the most important individual to ever live in Pittsfield with a resume of success that no city residents can match and oh yes he saved us over 100 million dollars in the 80s when he built the city’s two drinking water plants. Is he the fossil you were talking about. Gaetanis forgot more than you ever knew.Start watching his show he is trying to rescue you again you dinosaur.
There is nothing he could do that would make him a spit stain like Jon Krol. There is nothing lower.
Go away Cicerkrol. You are scum.
Brain Marquis!!! You’ve abandoned politics. Awesome! So much more free time…on your hands, so to speak. Keep “leggin” and rocking on, my sticky friend.
WTF is Brian Marcus?
Gauge. Get ready. Mr. Gaetanis is a progressive democrat. Anyone who has watched him o er the years would never believe this. He tells it like it is and isn’t afraid of anyone including the fake progressives on the council and this fraud of a mayor. He has a real vision unlike the fake vision of sec t which the B B praised in their lead editorial in Sundays paper. Everyone must read it. You would have thought that the eagle was talking about Jesus Christ when in essence they were writing aboutva clueless imbicile. Thank God we have Mr Gaetanis who calls everything as he sees it and whatever he states you should take to heart because he is the only city resident out there explaining what is really going on in this city Can you picture anyone on the council or the mayor trying to debate him on any topic. They never will because the have just enough nervous tissue to know that they would be destroyed. I liked what one poster said a way back that anyone trying to score a victory against the G man would be like throwing popcorn against the bow of an aircraft carrier or something like that.Perhaps the original poster could repeat it again.That indeed does say it all
And cikro, next time the paper takes pics,either shower or wear deodorant, your armpits looked disgusting.
That’s too bad Art. I could never vote for anyone who identifies as a Progressive Democrat.
Speaking of district attorneys and others with investigative powers, does anyone know the real reason why it takes forever to get taken care of in the BMC emergency room? Seems like it has to be short staffing because why else would so many people be sitting in the waiting room in pain? Can we please take the name “emergency” off the door?.
This has become an unbelievable normal regarding the ER. I just recently read that we should not complain about waiting hours at BMC. At BayState, the wait is days inside the ER.
This is un nerving in both situations.
And so what is the reason? Do they need more beds? More staff? Seems like an inefficient way to do things. It is so sad to be in there looking at people suffering for hours.
What the hell would happen if we had a mass casualty situation? I just want to know if there is a legitimate explanation for the hospital that likes to brag about how great they are. And I do realize many people are in there for runny noses and are not real emergencies.
Ironically if you go to their Urgent Care Clinic on East street they may very well send you to the emergency room where you may sit for hours.
What is their definition of emergency?
It’s the nurses unions passive aggressive way of showing they need patient limits and are over worked.
Wait til they pass a yes on question 1 and they start turning people away from the ER. Not all nurses support it!
I have been told that the ER is consumed with people trying to get drugs, drug overdoses, etc. and trying to be admitted. Everyone who goes there is on hold because they are overwhelmed.
LG I have seen yes and no signs regarding nurses from nurses throughout the city. What gives?
Dan – The last thing we need in Berkshire County is a “coddling” D.A. We have too many “coddling” judges as it is, and the combination of a softer more gentle D.A. & lenient judges will spell disaster. Expect crime to increase big time.
Harrington is not ready for prime time and does not have the experience to do the job justice – but the voters have spoken. Fasten your seat belts! The Progressives rule – unfortunately!
True Gigi, we don’t want a district attorney who thinks her job description is social worker.
The Progressives have been in charge of this area for what feels like forever, that’s the problem, and why we have issues with crime, high taxation for such a low income area, and lack of jobs and opportunity. We need a completely new approach not new faces with the same failing ideology.
Gigi. For the first time ever you are correct. I agree with you 100% Keep this string going. You should watch the Wiz’s rerun show. He stated everything you just stated.Is this where you got your information from? Keep on with the truth. you know I hate liars.Again the truth will set you free.
“Art”
1. I have never watched your show and don’t intend to,
2. You are a liar and a fraud
Gigi I take back the lies I just said about you. [REDACTED: THE POSTER IS WARNED. AVOIDE PERSOANL ATTACKS OF THIS NATURE! THE PLANET’S ALGORITHMS FLAG THEM. WARNINGS COME FIRST PRIOR TO BAN — WEBMASTER] Will we see you at city council trying to help the taxpayer as Mr Gaetani does? You are an individual who throws stones at those that feed you. Where do you people come from?
Cacc is a loser. No need for him to prove it again.
I love this website. A few posts ago had me laughing out loud when School Committee was joking about the police being afraid of pickup trucks. So funny!
This is my first post. I might regret it. Heh. I think people who like Cacc hope AH will botch something up so badly they don’t need to do a write in, she’ll just sink the ship herself. That said, I admire her campaign energy. Kroll seems to be close to tainting the positivity with a general layer of unlikability and maybe dishonesty – it feels weird to have a sitting public official taking money for speaking onair – maybe trump should get sponsors for his Twitter?
Frog Could you expound further about krill being paid for speaking?
New subject: Question: Was there ever a ballot question put to the voters of Pittsfield asking if we approved of building a new Taconic HS? I honestly don’t remember.
I ask this because a story in today’s BB mentions that a proposed new Wahconah HS will have to go to the voters for approval.
No, like so much else in the city the Taconic project was pushed through without voter approval. People did lots of complaining about it at the time, but big daddy government knows best. The city council authorized approval. iberkshires ran an article entitled” Pittsfield to Vote on Taconic Project” which would lead you to believe that voters were heading to the polls, but it was the city council that approved it. John Krol and Melissa Mazzeo were among the councilors who voted for it.
Thanks, Pat, for the answer.
The question still remains, why do the Dalton folks HAVE to approve this new school and we didn’t?
Maybe I’m reading the story wrong.
Dalton still has respect for its citizens and it may even be the law. I’m not sure. Dalton is not as far left as Pittsfield yet.
It’s a regional school and more complicated, they watch every nickle they spend as they should.Voting matters so they have an idea if there is support.Massmiano,Bouvier, Eberwien forced the smaller high school being built so talk of 1 high school in this city would stop.Taconic is the number 1 high school in town now and PHS is being turned into the behavior problem school and the SPED high school.
Pittsfield has a bigger population so more money can be stolen, probably $50 million was embezzled from that Taconic project alone, that’s enough to kill for
Pat no there was no vote but you forgot something. The G man filed a suit to stop it at his own expense and where were you and many on this when he was fighting the sharks in court by himself. Even the city’s lawyer told the Gman that he did a good job representing the taxpayer but of course we know that he is the taxpayers greatest friend of all time and even Pete Arlos could take a lesson from the wizzard and did many times. I understand Pete and the wizard were good friends and when Pete’s daughter died the Gman spent a lot of time with him trying to pull him out of a very deep depression but Pete never recovered. Mr. Gaetanis was very relevant back then and is very re!avant today. Only Dan and the Gman are the only voices for the taxpayers and all others pale by comparison. Including several who post on this board.However there is many more who are spot on every day and I learn something new every day.
I was definitely rooting for your suit to stop the new Taconic even if it was in spirit only.
Pat you are very honest. The Gman has directed me to protect you at all costs even though you and he do not see eye to eye on this board. Your posts are always in good decorum and you are truly a honest person who tries to stay current.As you know the Gman does not give out praise to many just to give out praise.If you are in the G Mans good graces you have the best friend you could ever have.
Pat is one of those “good” White Supremacists Trump was talking about.
Christine Blasey Ford:
Thank you for reminding us of Democratic tactics. Another case where nothing is said until they think it can have the maximum effect–for their own power.
Just another weak play designed to paint the Republicans as somehow unfeeling, bad people.
Remember how Romney put the dog on the roof of the car? Or McCain had a nasty temper?
But Democrats are all nice, well-intentioned people.
This allegedly happened one time? In high school? At a party? Where the kids were drinking a lot? Clothes were not removed? No physical harm done?
As always, why now? And there was no problem in Kavanaugh’s other confirmation hearing(s)?
This is a cheap political ploy designed to get Democrat votes in November. We see this all the time.
And you wonder why Hillary lost in 2016.
Yes, Ed, and the “Fords” are getting a pretty penny form someone for this.
These things are not revealed without a hefty payment. It’s the name of the game.
Spider where did you come up with this idea? Is it possible this woman could be telling the truth? Do you think we should watch this and see how it plays out? Time will tell and I hope the truth will prevail. The fact that kavanaugh is a scump nominee is a detriment to the judge because every other word out of scumps mouth is a lie.5006 lies to date but this should not reflect on kavanaugh.I think he has an uphill battle for a few reasons. He lied to the confirmation committee he says a sitting president shouldn’t be charged and he will take away a woman’s rights to decide whether to have an abortion or not. Regardless let’s see what happens. The coming days and weeks will be telling.
This is a Hail Mary play since none of their other tactics worked to stop Kavanaugh. There is no way to prove or disprove this allegation and they know it. The supposed victim (there is that word again) is a big Democrat supporter in a very liberal California college and she didn’t report it to the police. She reported it to a political organization instead.
What is the matter with Hail Marys? When Trump invited the Russians to help him get illegally elected that was his Hail Mary and you did not complain about that Pat. Stop being biased about Hail Marys for Gods sake.
Martha G. Kavanaugh, the mother of Brett Kavanaugh was a Maryland district judge in 1996. In an amazing coincidence, Martha Kavanaugh was the judge in a foreclosure case in which Christine Blasey-Ford’s parents were the defendants. Now it all becomes clear. Blasey-Ford is going after Brett Kavanaugh, not because of what he did in high school. Instead, Christine Blasey-Ford is going after Brett Kavanaugh out of spite and revenge for a case rulled on by Brett Kavanaugh mother. Martha Kavanaugh, Brett’s mother was Montgomery County Circuit Court judge from 1993 until she retired in 2001. During a 1996 foreclosure case, Martha Kavanaugh ruled against the parents of Christine Blasey-Ford in a foreclosure case.
The foreclosure case against Paula K. Blasey and Ralph G. Blasey was opened on August 8, 1996. The case number is 156006V
So that makes a rape attempt ok? Are we going by Trumps rule book as it pertains to grabbing pussies? They let you if you are a star? Is Kavanaugh a star? If not he can’t do it. He has to be a star. Trump said so.
Where does it say that?
FUGI
Thanks for sharing.
This was meant for Edward r murrow
Wow way to cover all the bases in this article. You are sure not to be wrong which ever way Cacc goes.
FM
Read the headline again.
I agree with Art and others,Caccaviello can win a write in. The reason not so much Knight votes, but I don’t thing the plurality of Pittsfield voters showed up. Arts take on that alone, thousands more will vote. The message has to be sent on how to do it, write -in Candidates never succeed and most didn’t have a chance to win either way.
The voter doesn’t like the tedious nature of a write in, this write in would be totally different. Art is correct, he has nothing to lose.
Here comes Pat piling on the sexual abuse victims again. Trump loves ya Pat.
She remembers nothing about the event itself because she too was completely drunk and maybe on drugs too we don’t know. She doesn’t remember when it happened or where it happened. It’s gone from 2 people involved now up to four. This does not sound credible to me at all.
Women have lied in the past about sexual issues Dusty. I can think of many instances. As a female, I say the accused is innocent until proven guilty and there is NO WAY to win here since it’s a “he said, she said” situation.
Ford took a lie detector and passed. Kavanaugh so far hasn’t, so not so “he said she said” quite yet. Still waiting for Kavanaugh’s results.
She can take a lie detector test and pass because she really believes she is telling the truth. Problem is she may not be remembering clearly from that long ago and under the influence.
Uh OK Pat. Are you a Patrick or a Patty?
It should not matter Dusty
Dusty, haven’t you heard? Sometimes the truth isn’t the truth.
Would Caccamo,Moon Rivers,White,Kroll please come out publicly in support of PCBs monitoring And cancer causing chemicals at Allendale…how is this building air filters being monitored.Would moon please ask McCandless how that is done,would Yon please post this information on that schools website…..
Allendale school is Pittsfields conscious ,no shame,and in denial
The City Council and School Committee will stay exactly the same come November, 2019. Any hope for change on the school committee went down the drain in the 1970’s when it was voted to change to an at large committee.
I don’t know how many people realize that the SC are the dangerous ones. They determine our tax increases by their appeasing the SD and teacher’s union with outrageous school budgets. Whatever they ask for they get.
The SC has never looked out for the taxpayer. And our CC goes thru the motions of being upset and voting against a few small items but they haven’t the guts to say NO.
Pittsfield should have an at large city council. Too many crack pots now.
I like the idea for a write in, here’s why…I’df Caccaviello wins it,he will be coaxed to be an even better D A than is now. If Harrington wins, same thing, she would have to be 100% all the time. Scrutiny is a valuable commodity. My prediction, Cac would win.
He might win if Capeless gets out and campaigns hard for him. He can run on Capeless fine record.
Doom I don’t know their definition of an emergency but I know what the definition of an emergency is in the city of Pittsfield. The tax and rate payers are going to be gutted of 150 million dollars for w/s updates without any anesthesia. This is a gigantic emergency and frankly a lot of stupid people in Pittsfield are not aware of it The G man is on this and every other travesty this mayor and council is trying to saddle the taxpayer with. Even Connell Mazzeo and Morandi as of late are looking somewhat weak but I think the Gman will have their support when he makes his move.I would hate to be anyone who is in his way when he is trying to rescue some of the city clueless individuals. He has already done it once and past performance is a good indicator of future performance. Some that he slayed were Doyle sr. Metcalf and Eddy engineers who incidentally are the city’s engineers today under their new name Aeacom engs.How did the happen Bruce Colling wood and he is tuning for present inc ompetent David tutocy who the Gman says is more incompetent than Doyle and Colling wood combined. The G man keenly assesess everything and what he is saying about tutocy should be heeded. None of us know any of the technical mumbo jumbo that the Gman knows and if he says tutocy has to go. He has to go. What is Mr. Gaetanis goal? To save us 40 to 50 million dollars. Now who do you believe? Clueless three and 8 incompetent councilors or Gaetanis. The key word here is save You.Capiech ?you are about to be slaughtered tax and rate payers
Pete White has upgraded his bio and is all for rate increases, along with the goofy other seven and snow job Terrorucy.
Art Seller hasn’t figured out Donald Trump is more honest than The Water Whiffler.
Shakes you have as much cred on here as you do on topix with your perverted insults to police and kids.We love the G Man.
I’m not the shakes that posts on Topix.
Trump is the devil. Who the hell in the world has that color hair. maybe Lucille Ball,late? The guys a freak.
U indeed. I just received a call from Mr Gaetanis who just returned from the DA’s office and he wanted to tell you all that Mr. Cacaviello has not yet made up his mind about a write in candidacy. He told the DA that he should definitely consider it and offered the DA and will soon offer to Harrington if the DA decides to run his TV show on every wed. Night to debate each other with no foolish questions like we all saw with those light weight debates hosted in august and sept. They will be able to debate every Wednesday till the election and the Gman will be there only to prevent them from killing each other. The Gman being involved will insure a big audience as Dan has stated that the Gaetanis News Hour is the best show on pctv.The only involvement the Gman will have other the keeping them from killing each other will be to stop BS in its tracks and we all know he is deadly at that. Let’s all pray that Paul Cacaviello will run as Wednesday nights will be the place to be on the GaetaniPittsfield News Hour
To Judge Kavanaugh, sometimes the little head thinks for the big head. Admit you did to this student said and go forward with the hearings, everyone knows you did it. There are many famous Americans that have done what you have done. We even have some here in the Pittsfield area that have gone astray. Some politicians and even the Military.
And sexual misconduct seems to be a plus in the republican congress. The attempted rape will more than likely work in his favor, a badge of honor if you will. He may even be paying this woman to say these things even if they are not true
Dow down again. Jonathan can we have the Streets and add elm street.
I think Susan Collins idea of letting kavanaugh and ford have a question and answer session before the judiciary com. Is a very good idea. They can put our what they feel is important and then the com.can vet the info.This is the fairest thing that can be done. Everyone knows how the dems will look at and what the pubs will look at and we will not get anywhere By this method the taxpayer will decide and if the po!iticians bet it wrong the american public will oust them in Nov.
It’s not like he said he was going to shoot her and burn her house down.
JK there is a lot of liars in this city and you have been pulling the wool over many of this city’s poorly informed citizens for many years and you have run your last unopposed election. The person who may run against you will so thoroughly tear you to shreds that all that will be left of you is a pile of foul smelling dust. You have never run against an intelligent opponent but if you run against the one I am thinking of you better be prepared to drop out of the race as this person will reduce you to the pile of BS which you are. I would start saying my prayers now because if this individual runs against by on you are burnt toas
I don’t know when he is up for re-election, but you should definitely join the race. I mean, the last time you ran for mayor I think you had at least a few dozen lost souls willing vote for you, so anything is possible.
Maybe if you hire the right messaging master, your and your family’s history could be turned into a positive. Tell people that you really, really understand the criminal justice system. Between your brother and his son going away to prison on weapons charges (are they still there?) and your own multiple arrests, the G man knows the system – inside and out!
Other than that, your focus should be on your soundness of mind. Your tendency to refer to yourself in the 3rd person, your angry screeds – all signs point to a completely sane, well-adjusted old man.
Good luck and let me know if you need any help. I’m available for consultation.
Maybe you could use Krol’s fake company.
Kavanuts sc totally GUIlty and Scum0 is GUIty of grabbing them by the gens. Heard the latter on tape. He can do it cuz he’s famous. Not fake NeWS. Just sayin.
When the new w/s rates hit residents should send their bills to the clueless mayor and 8 incompetent nit wits.I am not kidding as this will generate a big story the eagle will not be able to white wash and those who voted on the council for these projects will be catapulted out of office. The gobsig backed city officials are in for a rude awakening.They should be in the cross hairs of the public now but we realize that those individuals who do not read this thread are for all practical purposes are brain dead and are the puppets of the biased eagle. I hope that Harrington being trounced in pittsfield considering she was the gobsig candidate is a sign that the smart residents are becoming more and more aware of the gobsigs. We will get our answer in late 2019
Dear old bitter hag Sen.Susan Collins. Don’t vote to confirm the Kav because of an allegation, vote against because he’s a degenerate Judge selected by sCump.
Watch Forensic Files. So much can go wrong with what people remember especially 40 years ago. Why didn’t she go to the police? Why to a political organization? This has political tactic written all over it. She can’t remember when it happened or where it happened. Women also do lie about sexual issues and if not lying they can get it horribly wrong about who was involved and destroy people’s lives. This isn’t Russia. We are not a lynch mob.
Pat perhaps you can get a bill before congress making it so rape is no longer a crime. This woman is obviously looking for attention and her 15 minutes of fame before the republican attack dogs.
Hello. She wasn’t raped. She says she wasn’t raped. Only Democratic attack dogs are saying she was raped.
Nobody is saying we shouldn’t hear her side of this, but ultimately nobody knows what happened 40 years ago. There is no way to prove or disprove this. Kavanaugh should take a lie detector test. What if he passes? If we accept that she is telling the truth because she passed the test then shouldn’t we also assume the same if he passes the test?
Pat we don’t care about the allegation,alls we care about is keep this creep from becoming SCJ.
Thank you Shelly for admitting that mob justice is all you care about. Destroying a man is just fine as long as somebody you have already convicted of being guilty is removed from consideration of becoming SCJ.
And remember that, Pat, when “Shelly” alias Gaetani runs for public office.
Diane Feinstein is an American Patriot. And while on here, a thank you to Melissa for single handily shutting down the Wal Mart.
Fritz you are way out of your league. Way out of your league and everyone knows it. You cheapen this site. Please just once post an intelligent statement.
Spider. You must be watching the G Mans show. He has been saying this for o er 3 years. Better late than never. Keep up the good posts and be sure to listen to the Wiz every wed. 6pm CH.1301. Truth you can bank on.
The midterms will be the most important mid terms in Us history. It looks as though the dems will take the house and now with this Dr. fords allegations they may also take the senate. In either case it basically will be the end of trump’s presidentcy. It appears that kavanaugh will or will not be approved until after the midterms and by then it will be a certainty that he won’t No one can come to a snap decision at the present moment as to what is going to happen. We need to keep an open mind and settle on the truth and nothing but the truth. Trump is calling the democrats as having a conspiracy to sink kavanaugh and that is definitely his ,5006th lie. We should watch this play out and forget whether we are democrats of republicans and demand the truth.That’s not that difficult to do and we must do it
Another good article Dan. Would, have to agree to disagree with the Planets’ perspective though that the ultimate showdown in this war will come in the 2019 municipal elections. I never disclose who I voted for but will be writing in Paul Caccaviello’s name in the November election, no matter if he is running a sticker/ write in campaign or not.
Thanks, RK. Until Caccaviello officially rules out a sticker campaign, it’s still in play. He will receive several and maybe many write-ins come November. If he decided to run such a campaign, could he win? Yes. It would be tough, but it could be done. If this was my decision, and the party bosses came to me with a threat, I would definitely run to throw it on their face. He couldn’t lose. If he doesn’t get the election, he has proven himself to be his own man. That is worth everything. If he wins, he can lord it over them and go down in the “Legendary” section of the Pittsfield Political Encyclopedia.
If he wanted to win, he’s have won the primary. He’s a loser and there is no way he’d win a write-in campaign. Does Pittsfield really want an elected official that screwed up getting elected after the way Capeless anointed him? Probably, because Pittsfield is full of losers and bums.
Interesting comments by Ron and Art. I am another who didn’t vote. I think many people who would like an overturn, just to piss Krol off,say seven or eight hundred.
RK you must have read my mind. Even if Paul doesn’t announce as a wrote in candidate we can still write in his name and if he gets more votes than herringbone he wins. We all need to get the word out that Paul is a candidate even if he thinks he isn’t .
The documents are being released!

Gigi the minute you post brietbart sources most people realize that you are not well read. Do you ever try to look at other media sources? You clearly stated that you never have seen Mr. Gaetanis show and it is evident you haven’t because you seem to be totally lost as to what is going on in this city. Just watching one or two of his shows will bring you up to par. Do you remember the old saying a mind is too precious to waste. Get up to par you will feel much better
Check on that Art. Breitbart only has credibility with Trump diciples . Most people can sort the alternative facts from reality and by now know Breitbart does not know what facts are.
Because we know that Trump haters are well read since everything they read and listen to is about bashing President Trump. They consider this to be well read when in fact they do not care about diversity of opinion at all.
Art and dusty et al are very well misinformed.
Those who ARE well-read ought to be able to punctuate an English sentence so as to make it readable.
Valenti knows real talent when he said GNH was best show on PCTV.
Oh, and again, because the Good Dr. Will testify Monday, that means almost a week of great value to the three networks. Advertising bucks. Trump loves the media and the media is making a ton from Trumps Presidency. This shit goes on everyday, twenty four seven.
Halo September 17, 2018 at 7:04 pm #
Valenti knows real talent when he said GNH was best show on PCTV.
What other shows has he watched? Has he ever watched the Price Memorial Church Service? It’s hard to pass judgement on one show when you haven’t watched them all.
Harrington is not in cacaviello league no more than tutocy is in Gaetanis Two geniuses and two idiots.
Orin Hatch ” I think this women is mixed up”,This dinosaur has to go. He said the same thing in 1991 about Clarence Thomas’s accuser Anita hill. We will see what this dinosaur says this time. Mark my words this idiot will be voted out of office when he is up for reelection. He should have been voted out of office in 1992 for smearing Anita hill. He won’t get away with it this time. This dinosaur is a total disgrace and in the same league as scump.
Idiots apparently don’t realize that Hatch is retiring, and Romney is running for that seat.
They have a new drug to treat TDS….Docusate….try it your mind will improve.
This bizarre. During several of your own arrests, didn’t you threaten to bring suit against the DA’s office for their “illegal” behavior?
The phrase “batshit crazy” keeps coming to mind.
Cicerkrol. When the wiz personally attacks someone he does it to their face. You do it as a coward hiding behind a pen name. Why don’t you go on his TV show tomorrow so he can update you to what you evidently don’t know. It is amazing how brave cowards are when we are fighting them as ghosts. The Gman will take on anybody any time and all he asks is that they give their name. It is impossible for anyone to take on an anonymous person but if he knows their name he can dismantle them intellectually in a matter of moments. You have seen his show cicerkrol enough said.
“It is impossible for anyone to take on an anonymous person but if he knows their name he can dismantle them intellectually in a matter of moments.”
One of the most idiotic things I have ever read.
In general, you come across as having the maturity of a 5 year-old.
Given your lack of impulse control, the threats you have issued and been arrested for in the past, and the fact that you belong to a family of armed criminals, I’m going to hold off on sharing my name with you.
Truer words were never spoken Sellers. One of Harringtons comments was,she is going to make the streets safer? Did she explain how? What was the voter basing their vote for her on? Experience? Caccaviello should have run without endorsement, the voter would have seen he wasn’t part of a machine. She outfoxed him. With that being said,I truly believe he can win a write in.
Excellent analogy Liver. I’m running for Mayor. Blight Crime tifs and raising taxes will be my platform. Now don’t be stupid and vote for me.
Why wont councilor Moon talk about PCBS in the air filters at Allendale School.Cant Moon get McCandless to post air quality on the website
What makes you think you might get accurate information from such a source? Did you know Pittsfield needs two (2) high schools for a shrinking population? And enough nepotismal administrators to ensure a positive gosib voting block?
1200…. 10,11,12 graders in the entire city
with 500k square feet to teach them,and the Crosby school for sped programs is a filthy eviromental mess with a egotistical out of control coordinator
The PCB situation is very bad. Walmart chose not to build their new store near GD because of the environmental report. Growing food within Pittsfield is questionable but a complete dangerous folly in the flood plain. I do not want to buy farmer market food when I think it’s groen too close to the Housatonic flood plain.
Maybe they should just shut Allendake? Pittsfield has a population decline so they could consolidate. Teachers Unions would get uppity though. Moon strikes me as the kind of person who would be fine with kids eating pcb madden food as long as it was “organic”.
Someone suggested there might be underground gas tanks buried near Sherwin Williams paint store. Was there a gas station there that left tanks in the ground to rust and leak? Just curious, and who might be the one to check in on this?
I don’t know about oil tanks. They usually are “forgotten” on property sales and some poor fellow down the chain gets a bad surprise.
I just saw some EPA links that said plants do not always absorb pcbs but contaminated soil dust is a problem. I think Moon might not want to terrify people about the school but it is very bad imo and should probably be shut. Why risk it when so many schools don’t have enough students. It seems nuts.
If GD is on the epicenter I’m not sure that is great either for folks working there.
These would be gasoline tanks if they are there. And with all the time that has passed they may very well be rusted badly and leaking. Any ward councilors care to check into this I wonder? Like one from Ward 1?
Caccaviello won’t run a write in because he has no hope of winning.
He was beaten by at least 3% and if Knight isn’t in the race and he tries to run a write-in, the former Knight voters will just vote for Harrington. Then Caccaviello loses by 25%.
The cost of a write in campaign is more than twice what he spent on his regular campaign.
He should just wait it out, become a defense attorney and destroy Harrington when she poorly represents Berkshire County as DA.
She’s clueless, has zero trial experience, has lost anything she touches. Of course she wants diversion programs, she doesn’t want to go to court because it’s not a coffee shop, Krol’s show, or a yoga studio.
Harrington better hope she doesn’t have any big trials coming up because her screeching voice and eye rolling won’t win cases.
…Harrington should look into why Councilors Moon,Yon and White wont speak about Allendales air monitors system….Could Yon address the council about where she will post air quality,fumes,air filter change out timetables at Allendale……Im told the filters are never tested for PCBs and that is the only Barrier between students and outside dust from the COB storage mountain next to the classrooms……until Kroll ,White,Caccamo,Rivers,Moon Tyer,Taylor, and Mayor Yon speak to PCB dust they are not advocates of young developing students.
The school should have been closed 20 years ago….its time to open the can of worms for the last time……not 1 leader in this town will acknowledge PCBS at Allendale dust bowl
What went down at Crosby today, police and ambulance arriving.
Don’t wait for the eagull to post it first. The Planet is first, while eagle reporters snooze.
Zero coverage onthe dumpster also,zero.
Because there’s nothing to cover. There are many ways signs can get damaged Ok?
How was the G man -multi multi millionaire,really dealt with that night at B C C ? more phony allegations by the gull.
After sitting in the audience for nearly 90 minutes and then sitting on stage for 90 minutes Amamda Drane and Earl Persip said he was drunk. I guess he sniffed the alcohol from the air.
Multi, multi? Planet Gaetani. I used to enjoy reading this blog, but now very annoying.
Who cares. we are here for the Planet Daily repertoire. I really don’t care what is said on here. After the Planet writes,everything is downhill anyway for the most part. Now stuff Harrison or I’ll ask J Mel for the Streets or Praise Mel Mazzeo for shutting down Wal – Mart.
U are annoying, u never bring anything to the table..of substance. Others, are frights,giggles,shook,shuck and muck.if Art Sellers is Gaetani he is one bright Individual and speaks the truth.
How could Draned witness anything after the BCC debate if she was still Inside? The Wiz should reexamine the judges decision, it reaks, like Dumpster..Also, this City Council should be fuming, fuming, at the fact a five year contract was given to those cockroaches at Republic without any oversight or knowledge. Does any City Councilor believe they will get any support for any office they run for in the near future? Hell no. How much was that contract for Mr. Kerwood?
Ask yourself Gaetani naysayers? Do you disagree that Tyer and Harrington are qualified for their jobs? Y or N. Gaetani is the most common sense poster on here? That is if you believe he is the great Art Seller. Art Seller is fantastic for this blog. I like him as much as the Planet himself. I know for a FACT that Gaetani was out of town Monday and had no access to this sight. So if Art posted Monday, and I haven’t looked, it’s not him
Now, what happened at CRosby a today??
Oh, and another thing,those garbage cans on Tyler’s Street are the most disgusting looking things I have ever seen,ever. Check out the one with the dent on it and most of them have weeds around them,awful waste of taxpayers dollars.
I see Pecks Road was done over Again? No, wonder the aging Cilty Councilor was voting to increase water rates. But the worst of the worst was that piece of garbage and flip flop, you all know her.
