Buchanan County Clerk Kelley Stahlin confirmed on Wednesday morning she has fired election winner Mary Baack-Garvey from the clerk’s office.

Citing tensions that she said had existed for years, Ms. Stahlin said she let go of Ms. Baack-Garvey to quell any drama until the latter takes office on Jan. 1.

“With all of the insubordination and the blatant disregard ... I just felt it best with us going forward that there wasn’t room for both of us in here,” she said.

Claiming she doesn’t think she will suffer any repercussions for the decision, Ms. Stahlin said she had no regrets about making it or comments she said during an interview after her election defeat in which she said Ms. Baack-Garvey “doesn’t have a clue to all the aspects of the job.”

“Do I regret saying that? No, because it was the truth,” she said.

Ms. Baack-Garvey, a Republican, won with 52.9 percent of the vote.

‘“I was rather surprised,” Ms. Stahlin said. “I just wish the county clerk’s office luck with someone who doesn’t have a clue to all the aspects of the job.”’

I’m sure the office was running like clockwork under the ‘superior’ RAT authority. LOL. Futher, what kind of name is Stahlin? Is she related to Joseph Sta(h)lin?

Get out monkey - you were voted out by the will of the people, and this aint the USSR, so SEE YA.

Yeah, rigging elections with computerized equipment is really complex. The only system this poor neophyte can handle is going back to paper ballots, manually cross-checked voter rolls, and finger cups full of ink.

Heh, heh, heh...

Post-election news out of St. Joe, Kansas this morning:

The Republican Winner (excitedly):

"Toto, I've a feeling I'm not in Kansas anymore. We're over the rainbow!"

The Democrat Loser (evily):

"You're fired, Dorothy!"

Toto: "Arf!"

Pelosi must bee feeling that pain this AM. Sweet.

The only thing I wish is that I wouldn’t have to look at Boxer or Reids face for another 6 long years.

Typical of the Dems. Sore Losers. Often throw tantrums like little kids. We will see lots of this with as many Dems that went down me thinks.

Ms. Stahlin’s picture needs a photoshop mustache.

No. Ms Stahlin’s photo doesn’t need to be photoshoped. She’s a pretty good looking man just the way she is!?!

She should be fired right now, if she can’t serve the people properly and make the transition smooth for the new clerk.
