Dear Council and Cable Providers:
Last night Mark Rumley accused me of slurring him with the term "Mickey the Dunce."
Last night Mark Rumley accused me of slurring him with the term "Mickey the Dunce."
The term has been used in regards to mortgage brokers, a
Boston Globe writer or reader describing football coach Bill Parcells,
and a district court judge calling telephone companies (now cable
providers?) Mickey the Dunce in a Revere, Massachusetts. case.
It is disturbing that the City Solicitor wasted taxpayer monies to engage in what is a deception so that he can attempt to shirk his responsibilities to the cable tv subscribers.
Intent is what is essential in a slur and that was not the intent, as you all know. Rumley wasted taxpayer monies and time getting into a spitball contest in order to avoid responding in an appropriate - not deceptive - fashion to a legal public records request.
What Mr. Rumley did last night was to attack a victim of gay discrimination and attempt to turn the tables so that the City Solicitor's failure to perform would be (he hoped) hidden by his egregious act designed to distract.
For your information, a district court judge, Justice MacLeod, employed the term when phone companies turned a blind eye to bookies. The Judge called the corporations Mickey the Dunce.
So that Mr. Rumley's feigned offense can be mitigated, I will openly apologize to the city lawyer who failed to help a green card employee, who enriches himself at other people's expense by failing to defend an African American woman, a homosexual male, a senior citizen, an autistic man and others who came to Rumley for help, and, instead, we will call the cable providers "Mickey the Dunce" as the judge did, for being woefully ignorant to the deceptive business practices both Issuing Authority McGlynn and Solicitor Rumley appear to be engaging in.

Googling "Mickey the Dunce" gets you a bunch of examples of contemporary use. EG:
"To assume that mortgage brokers could play Mickey the Dunce and not hurt anyone is flawed." (Boston Globe)
Mr. Lund said he "did not have an answer" to the question of whether CBS was putting its access to a Super Bowl at risk. "I don't want to play Mickey the Dunce," he said, "but I didn't participate in the N.F.L. negotiations and I don't know how the league intends to assign the rights to that fourth game." (NYTimes)
The Mickey-the-Dunce mantra of "I didn’t know anything about this” is an excuse Pitt wants to take away from CEOs in the future. (NewsMax.com)

Bill Parcells in the wrong as he leaves Patriots - Boston.com

Don't hold your breath awaiting an apology from Mark Rumley.
Just hand us the bank statements of Medford Community Cablevision, Inc., all of them, so that we can do the job the City Solicitor is required to, is supposed to be doing.
