If Chavez gets points, then Berry does too.

David Alire Garcia, link, is much worked up over some photographic legerdemain that Mayoral Candidate Richard Berry appears to be using to deliberately mislead voters about Marty Chavez' actual age.

score 1 .......... Chavez

But if you do the math on Garcia's argument, you will have to concede that Chavez went from;"

... a much younger Mayor Martin Chavez... (with) dark
hair and a lot of it,
to,
a 1993 mayoral portrait in which Chavez is already a grey-haired mayor.
in the time between the "late 80s" and 1993.

Must have been a hell of a few years.

Either that, or in the late 80s, Chavez was using some photographic legerdemain to deliberately mislead voters about Marty Chavez' actual age; making him appear younger than he really was.

score 1 ......... Berry


Now if only someone were keeping score on the number of ethics scandals that have occurred on Chavez' watch. And about how little accountability there really is. And about how little progress Chavez has really made in ending the corruption in City Hall. And about Chavez dropping the ball on the Ethics in Public Service Act allowing it to die from his neglect.

I would invite the press to keep their eyes on the ball.

Post Script;



This would be an example of photographic legerdemain to make Marty Chavez look as corrupt as he really is.



This would be an example of photographic legerdemain to make Marty Chavez look like a guy on the witness stand during his ethics trial over ABQPAC, with no real good answer for the ethics question he had just been asked.



This would be an example of photographic legerdemain to make Marty Chavez look like a guy whose been mayor for 12 years. I would invite you to compare it with the photo that Chavez would like voters to consider, link.


This would be an example of photographic legerdemain to make Marty Chavez look like a beaver, for throwing Mark Bralley off a press bus and for numerous subsequent violations of Bralley's first amendment rights as a member of the free press.
