Manchurian Candidate: John Cranley
By Milt Crappus | Dealer staff writer    Wed, May 18, 2005
 

CINCINNATI - Susan Cranley, the mommy of City Councilman John Cranley and candidate for school board, vehemently opposed the Cincinnati Board of Educations super-secret selection for school superintendent, Rosa Blackwell, last month.

"Closed Door Selection of Superintendent is Egregious!"

Her comments on the matter were not suspicious, at first.

Later that week Councilman Cranley, objecting to the council's practice of meeting behind a closed door to solve the city’s problems, said, "Closed Door Selection of the Superintendent is Egregious!"

When The Dealer called Cranley for an explanation, he became robotic and flat when answering.

"My mother is the most gentle, kindest, warmest human being that I have ever known."

In an email from Councilman Cranley dated April 25th, Cranley, once again, expressed his affection for his mother.

"My mother is the most gentle, kindest, warmest human being that I have ever known. Closed Door Selection of Superintendent is Egregious!"

The Dealer cannot confirm that John Cranley has been brainwashed in attempt to assassinate any public officials but it is quite obvious that he is a puppet of his mother’s political ambitions.
