Ray Cote, the charming fellow pictured here, has resigned as the board of education president in Mahopac, New York, just north of the city, after a hot mike caught him calling a parent fat. "This one here, chubby wubby, she gets fatter and fatter at every meeting. She really does," said Cote at a board gathering that was being streamed live online. A committed mother watching at home put the clip on YouTube, like a small-town V. Stiviano, and now the jerk is gone.
"It totally tells us that he cares nothing for the community that he says he upholds," said the concerned parent with a working knowledge of how to go viral. "Nothing. He cares nothing for us."
"My words were inappropriate and do not reflect my feelings or attitudes," said Cote in a statement. "I will strive to regain the trust and respect of the community." Cote, it turns out, belongs to a "diversity and sensitivity team" created after students posted racially insensitive comments on Twitter earlier this year. Or he used to.
They put Al Capone away for tax evasion, even though that wasn’t the worst thing he did.
....so chubby is now the new N-word equivalent?
If it is like this state, all you have to do is breathe and know the right people to hold that position, hence it attracts idiots. I’d use the howling to advantage, if I were king-dig into all the dealings of the board-there is probably enough there for months of real outrage, firings and lawsuits...
No, you'd think it was thing because it has to be stretched to cover that volume — much like a balloon.
No. You would expect the guy who oversees education in your district not to be stupid.
You can’t expect anyone to be anything they should now-especially when an institution is federally funded.
He doesn’t look like he misses too many meals, neither.
$100k for a ‘diversity training’ advocate to come stage some teambuilding exercises ought to cover it.
Actually I think it’s pretty funny. But then I’m not at all PC and have a weird sense of humor. Maybe he should have described her as the mother who needed to concentrate on growing taller so she wouldn’t have a weight problem.
He’s gay? Oh, no wonder the bitchy remark.
Do you know any straight men who use the term, “chubby wubby?”
My gaydar failed yet again.
It IS funny in an objective way. I laughed when I first heard the story. Of course, that shouldn’t stop us from beating the lib to pulp over it, hee-hee.
“Hard to tell which woman he is talking about in the video.”
The fat one, obviously. It was impolitic of him for sure. But the truth. The truth shall set you free. And it did.
