Patrick over at Badger Blogger printed this and it just cracked me up. This is the fine, upstanding citizen Michael McGee Jr. (”The Alderman”) after a John Doe hearing on April 19. The judge advised him that he was not to speak about the proceedings, and here’s what he told his baby-mamma/girlfriend/mistress about it:
“They said you can tell your wife, but you can’t get tell your girlfriend,” McGee said, according to a transcript of the conversation.
“Say what?” Rucker responded.
McGee explained: “That’s how stupid they is. The judge was like, ‘You can tell your wife, but you can’t tell your girlfriend. You can tell your doctor . . . ‘ ”
“The judge did not tell you anything like that,” Rucker interrupted.
“They did say that,” McGee argued. “They crazy. No girlfriend. Only your wife. And only your, only your, you can tell your lawyer. You can tell your doctor, and you can tell your preacher.”
“No,” Rucker said, “he didn’t.”
“It’s a woman judge,” McGee said, correcting his girlfriend. “Jean DiMotto. That bitch did say that.”
More intelligent comments from McGee are printed in this newspaper article.

I think anyone ever involved in a romantic relationship will admit to fighting with a significant other at some point. Maybe you don’t talk until the other apologizes. Or the guy will buy the lady apology roses. But McJackson & Mistress take the cake.
Maybe I’m a prude, but I don’t remember ever requesting a restraining order - or having one filed against me - by a girlfriend. And I don’t think I’d keep in contact with her regardless of what side of the restraining order I fell on.
Then again, he did state in court that the relationship wasn’t romantic, so I should remove the context of romance from the equation.
Nevermind the irony of someone labeling others as “stupid,” but butchering standard grammar while doing so. Shouldn’t a “Word Warrior” master the language?

Mike McGee Jr.’s - “Top Ten things to do when I get out of jail”:
(Originally posted by me at Badger Blogger 7-9-07)
10) Check MySpace, see if Foxxy News has PM’d me while I was in the can
9) Call Juneteenth Day victim, thank him for giving me vote of confidence in interview with Kane (and for not mentioning the “consultant” I “suggested” he bring on board for store expansion project)
8. Send gift basket to Rev. George King
(8a- Email Hugo Chavez, thank him for wiring money to Rev. King)
7) Gauge dad’s opinion of how much trouble I’m actually in by whether he’s purchased home in 6th district yet
6) Stop by City Hall, pick up pile of paychecks, endorse them to someone else so they can cash them for me
(I’m indigent! Indigent, I tell you!)
5) Talk to Rapid Response Team, see what they’ve been up to without any guidance (Juneteenth Day? That was you guys?)
4) Head over to Kim’s place, see if she wants “The Gatekeeper” to pay her a visit
3) Stop by proctologist, see if there’s a topical cream or something to stop this burning itch
2) Stop and see LaSonia, pick clothes out of trash
1) Hook up with D-Rock and Brotha Clean, see if it’s too late to “reach out” to Grand Jury
