Pissing Contest
There’s no love lost between Ernie Newton, a Councilman in Bridgeport, Conn., and Maria Pereira, an “outspoken” member of Bridgeport’s Board of Education. The two regularly trade insults in the comments section of the “Only in Bridgeport” web site. It got to the point where each accused the other of being on drugs, so Pereira challenged Newton to meet her to take simultaneous drug tests, and publicly release the results.
