Pat Delany a quitté ses fonctions le mois dernier en invoquant les habituelles "raisons familiales"... On révèle aujourd'hui que c'est suite à un courriel de son épouse au candidat, et ancien célèbre sprinter, Carl Lewis que Delany s'est retiré.
"Delany's wife, Jennifer, was so irritated by the message of a Lewis email blast to supporters that she decided to send him this masterwork of regret-fiction. Via PolitickerNJ:
"Imagine, not having to pay NJ state income taxes...It must be nice. Imagine getting a court ruling overturned so your name could get put on the ballot. Imagine having dark skin and name recognition and the nerve to think that equalled (sic) knowing something about politics. Sure, knowing someone with fat purse strings is nice, but you have no knowledge.
"Remove my email. To think you STOLE my email and name from a complaint letter. I'm reporting you as SPAM."
Pat Delany acknowledged in a statement today that it was this email that led him "leave public life":
"I am deeply disappointed in my wife's decision to send that email to Mr. Lewis' campaign; it does not reflect my personal beliefs whatsoever," said the former assemblyman from Lumberton. "In an attempt to repair the serious damage this has caused to our marriage, and to protect our kids from public humiliation, I decided to leave public life. On behalf of my family, we sincerely apologize to Mr. Lewis for any pain this caused him."
The lesson for politicians here: Never get married."
