Tested: Sarah Peake's Report Card

Peake rymes with sneak. Some people think that Peake is pronounced "Pea-kee." Pea-kee rymes with sneaky. It was only a matter of months after buying and smearing her way into the State Legislature that Sarah Peake was engaging in good old boy politics.  Steven Desroches, a young reporter for the Cape Codder, carried out an in depth journalistic investigation of the Representatives behind-the-scenes deal-making and debauched maneuverings.  The article outlined how she rewarded people who donated to her campaign with high-paying jobs in government. Additionally, Sarah's ultra-wealthy campaign manager, Ann McGuire, was indicted for not paying over half a million dollars in taxes on her exlcusive PTown properties. Yeah, Ms. "Affordbale Housing" had someone who took affordable housing, condoized it into gentry housing,and made millions in profits at the expense of poor families as her campaign manager.  Because of incidents like these  Sarah get's a D in ethics.

Peake also rymes with week. Every year thousands of lesbians flock to Provincetown to celebrate an event called Womyn's Week, or "Dyke Week" as many of them call it, that is orchestrated by Sarah and her lover.  But these women aren't very womenly. In fact, it makes me wonders why they even call it "Womyn's Week." In reality I would estimate that well over 90 percent of the attendees are soft, lite or hardcore butches, at least at the chapstick lesbian level (with bull dyke being at the top). Straight girly girls RUN when they see the Womyn's Week woMEN. So when it comes to promoting REAL feminism and female empowerment, Sarah get's a D because she was successful in raising money from them for her campaign, unethical as it may be (exploiting feminism for political/financial gain). However, encouraging women to model themselves after men is not feminism, it's a cross mutation between lesbianism and transgenderism.

Peake also rymes with chic, and no, I won't even go there. But I will say that our current Representative,  who frequently dresses in men's clothing and sported a studly crew cut (probably to impress all the Women's Week  gals) prior to running for State Rep, seems like an anomoly in one of the most Republican regions of New England, the Lower Cape. In this subject Sarah earns a D, because she did wear lipstick once for a debate (there were many old ladies and some Republicans present), however miserable she looked. Actually, I am going to adjust that to a D-. I believe I speak for the majority of the  Cape Codder's subscribers in saying that waking up  to an oversized photo of Peake locking lips with her 56 year-old lesbian lover on the front pages of the paper  is, well,  naseating.  Gross man, GROSS!

Peake also rymes with squeak. During her campaign she talked endlessly about how she was going to solve the housing crises. In her newspaper columns, mailings to voters, radio ads, debates, interviews and speeches, she told everyone "housing is my linchpin issue." She spent about $150,00.00 telling people that housing was her linchpin issue.  For those of you who don't know what a linchpin is, it is a pin that binds a wheel to an axle for support and stability. Unfortunately for Sarah that wheel is becoming very squeeky, especially after yesterday's Cape Cod Times editorial in the Cape Cod Times titled "A Failing Grade." Under the leadership of Sarah Peake the number of affordable units created was 10 times lower than it should have been, with over a third of the units only  available to the elderly. What can I say, I warned voters in my radio ads about what happened when Sarah and her rich elitist gay friends promoted gentrification Provincetown by saying "Is this what you want coming to your town." I never expected that it would come so soon. I agree with the Cape Cod Times.  Sarah, along with her close friends and campaign worker machine people who work at the affordable housing programs on the Cape, get an F.  Of course there will be no affordable housing when the management of Cape housing organizations use their resources to promote their friends' political campaigns, just like when Sarah's best friend, and a manger at a Lower Cape housing organization, used her management status to smear opponents of Peake (including yours truly) to her subordinates and some of the organizations low-income tenants. You can't get lower than this, so Peake's grade remains at an F.

Peake also rymes with bleak, the only word I know that can describe the future of the "have not's" on Cape Cod, who have been ignored by a representative who serves only the agenda of her special-interest financers, literally leaving them out in the cold this winter.
