But birds of a feather flock together and political birds do the same. Please read any of Belgard’s exposes on his “Ascension Meme” page you will see what kind of brain trust we are dealing with. The first that Pelican Post and Cointment’s Campaign manager Wade Petite would be posting this story on its blog and the second that Belgard would endorse my opponent. Sunday morning, a day after chastising President Cointment for riding in a golf cart at Lamar Dixon Expo Center, Painter posted the following diatribe.Įarly today, as I was feeding my 94-year-old mother breakfast, being the Facebook Queen that she is, she alerted me to a Pelican Post article announcing Mark Belgard’s exit from the Parish President’s race and proclaiming his undying support for Clint Cointment. “Meme Guy” opts out, endorses Cointment for reelection as Parish Prez No harm, no foul and everyone seemed to have a good laugh.
I’d like the man currently in charge to stay there, and I don’t want to be a legitimate threat to his chances. I could force a runoff, wasting the time and money of legitimate candidates who actually want to win.
Should I stay in the race, I could pick up 10-20% of the vote, who knows. To elect me to the parish’s highest office would be irresponsible and detrimental to the future of the “Best Parish to Live In.” I would make things worse, as I have no idea what I would be doing. I’ve indicated early on that I don’t actually want to win. The legitimate support and the amount of pledged votes I have received is insane. While it would have been interesting to see what slice of the vote he could have garnered in the name of comedy, Belgard opted out of the October 14 election writing (in all seriousness it seems): Nothing unique about that, Meme Guy just does it better than just about everyone (excepting, of course, the self-parody that is Murphy J. Regularly satirizing at Painter’s expense.
From the outset, as Belgard raised his qualifying fee from donors to his page, the Meme Guy continually asked supporters to vote for Cointment… The setup: Mark “I don’t answer to Mike, but you can call me Meme Guy” Belgard signed up to qualify for the parish presidency alongside Painter and the incumbent, Clint Cointment. Painter is not among its legion of loyal and ardent followers, and the joke’s on him. Candidate for Ascension Parish President, Murphy J. Fans of Ascension Parish Department of Memes appreciate its often acerbic, always irreverent, take-it-or-leave and the Meme Guy could, very literally, not care less content. Since deleted from Sue N Jared Beiriger Facebook page, hundreds had already screenshotted image.Ĭertain guys, lacking basic social skills necessary for comfortable interaction in the social media milieu, where rules of engagement are tacitly accepted by voluntary participation, never get the joke. Painter (right) socializing with lame-duck Parish councilman Corey Orgeron two weeks prior to 2019 elections.
