And what’s wrong over at abc6 News? Aarrghh! Thanks to Dose pal, Kim Ahern, who nearly choked on a pretzel while watching the news last night. Not only is this not a picture of David Segal, it is in fact an image of political shape-shifter Richard Rodi. Of all people! Rodi ran as a democrat against Segal in 2008 — losing badly — and he recently got booted from the newly formed Moderate Party. As a politician, Rodi suffers from a rather crucial personality defect — nobody enjoys his company. R.I.’s Future had a great piece in March examining his various opportunistic party affiliations and self-serving community efforts.
abc6 has since rectified its error (watch the segment here). New screen grab after the jump.
Okay, much better.
A “shape-shifting” RI politician named Richard Rodi: it must be providence.
Happy Bloomsday.
