Is Michael Wildes the new Chugh?

 The Roger Chugh Award for the most extensive online ego wall goes to Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes.  His website includes photos of himself with celebrities like Christie Brinkley, Uma Thurman, Tony Bennett, Billy Joel -- and Alan Hevesi, who resigned his post as New York State Comptroller last December as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors after he plead guilty defrauding the New York state government.

Wildes is the Bergen County Democratic Organization candidate for State Senate in the 37th district against incumbent Loretta Weinberg -- one of the state's best primary races.

Michael Wildes


Michael Wildes and Alan Hevesi, hmmm. Wasn't it Wildes who recently said something about the company one keeps? Once again this guy proves what a hypocrite he is.

WOW!


And I thought some other recent candidates had the market cornered on name dropping. 8 pages of pics may be a new record. How many of these folks would know him if they fell over him? How many would be upset that he couldn't remember their names?

slow down


He's a little too ambitious...I'm not even sure he's next in line for Rothman's seat.

 I mean, I'm a Democrat and all....but damn....this guy seems like a real putz. Some of those pics look like he jumped out of the bushes to get in the frame.

Who is this clown? what has he done? I have problems w/ Loretta Weinberg, but how is this guy gonna help matters?

GIMME A BREAK


How many would know Mayor Wildes? Probably most, as Wildes' father was John Lennon's lawyer and both are high profile attorneys with national reputations. Also, I suspect if public exposure for anonymously pursuing women on the Internet didn't destroy Rothman’s career, lots of grin and grip pictures on a political website aren't going to hurt Wildes. Is this crap the best Steve and Loretta can do???? Gimme a break...LOL....
