Gerry vs. Corey

Forget Michael Vick and his despicable activities; this is one (metaphorical) "dog fight" we can all enjoy watching:

Calling Prince William County's proposal on illegal immigrants political posturing and unworkable, Fairfax County Chairman Gerald Connolly fired back at Prince William County Chairman Corey Stewart this week over Stewart's criticism of Fairfax's handling of immigration issues.

Stewart said Fairfax County must take action for the region to effectively curb illegal immigration. Prince William passed a controversial resolution directing police to check the status of crime suspects when there is probable cause to believe they are illegal immigrants.

That approach, Connolly said, is hardly effective.

"What, pray tell, constitutes probable cause? Is it how someone looks? Is it their accent? Is it what they're wearing?" he asked. "That sounds like profiling, and I don't know how they're going to get over that."

Yes, this is the same Corey Stewart who the Washington Post said was like a cynical, third-world despot.  And this is the same Gerry Connolly who our friend Lee Diamond calls "boss," among other things.  We'll see how this "dog fight" turns out, but for the moment, my money's on Gerry.

Why is your money on Gerry?  How about explaining?


Well, for one thing his county is a lot bigger (Lowell - 8/22/2007 10:52:44 AM)
and more powerful than Stewart's.  Fairfax County's population is about three times Prince William's, and it's also a lot wealthier.  That's it, besides just having a bit of fun here. :)
