Too much Salmon or arrested development?


Republican Vermont State Auditor Tom Salmon has called a Friday press conference according to The Rutland Herald reporter's blog Vermont View .
After his recent interview on VPR's Vermont Edition with Jane Lindeholm and airing his "fiddler's fart" comment perhaps he hopes to strike another note at this press opportunity,or just clear the air.
His press release notes that he "respectfully invites all perfect and imperfect people" to the presser.
No note on what the presser is about, but a wild guess is that it might involve Salmon's DUI arrest last week.

In the spirt of the invitation here are two helpful quotes from my favorite self help writer
The easiest way to save face is to keep the lower half shut.

Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut. ~Author Unknown

  1. Yessir...nothing gets you back into the good graces of the public eye like informing them that you couldn't give a "fiddler's fart." Crude, and yet, so folksy too.

  2. Hey ,Leon Welcome back .
    Folksy fart comments-always winner with upper level state office holders when accepting responsibility for a DUI.
    Historically on a national level I remember well and with great fondness Nixon's 1973 ground breaking "F@#&k You I am not crook" speech.
