Belmar Mayor to Visit SI

pringle0807.jpgThe Belmar, NJ mayor who hurt the feelings of Staten Island residents is ready to make amends. Mayor Ken Pringle (pictured) insulted the borough to the point of its residents calling for a boycott of his beach town.

Pringle isn't getting away with a simple apology for the SI slurs, the Staten Island Advance is reporting that "community leaders are planning to take the mayor of Belmar on a tour of the Island after he slurred 'Staten Island girls,' 'guidos' and 'blondes' in his newsletter earlier this month." He accepted the invitation, with one catch: the borough's reps have to spend a Saturday night in Belmar; he wants them to know the town is more than just "ugly headlines."

Some Staten Island residents sounded off on SILive yesterday, one saying the slander should go ignored "because surely Staten Island does not have time to be meddling in these kinds of petty, childish, been-there-done-that arguments about guidos." While another pointed out that if there's a "guido problem" on the Island, take care of it LI-style, with an an online movement to stop it!

That link is for LONG ISLAND, not STATEN ISLAND. I know most of you don't think so but there is a difference.

he should gel up a blowout and show up in his undershirt. don't forget the chocolate axe spray and his dick WILL be sucked,yo.
