Last week we brought you the happy and true story of Republican bigotry in Pemberton.
Today we get the Democratic side, with Belmar Mayor Ken Pringle stepping up to the plate to insult Staten Islanders, Italians and yellow haired people in what appears to be an official town newsletter.
Going after Staten Islanders?
"The spat ended the way most fights with SI girls do," the mayor wrote. "The SI woman grabbed the Boonton woman by the hair ... and began punching her face in."
He didn't stop there: Pringle made fun of the way Staten Islanders look, suggesting their attire is a "costume" and the women use too much hair spray.
Italians?
"They're always tanned to the color of coconut shells and easily identified by their plumage: satin shirts and short skirts on the females; Armani Exchange T-shirts and artfully distressed jeans on the males," he wrote.
"The call of the Guido is bellowing, and frequently slurred, invariably starting with the sound, 'Yo.'"
The tallow-haired?
Pringle ended his newsletter with a gem about two renters who told an inspector they didn't know how to take out garbage.
"Let us guess ... they're blonde," the item was headlined.
And the excuse?
Pringle admitted he went "over the top" in his attempt to highlight the bad behavior of some seasonal visitors in the quintessential Jersey shore town.
"It was meant as a humor device, not to insult anyone," he said. "If I don't make it funny, no one is going to read it."
Yeah, that last thing is just not true. It wasn't funny at all, and now lots of people are reading it.

Ed Kuck, who posted an image on his site that said "Obama loves the US like OJ loved Nicole," now defends himself against charges of racism by noting that his wife is Thai and his children are bi-racial.
Of course, his new slogan just proves that while he may not be racist, he's got a lot of hate in his heart.
Obama loves America like Michael Moore loves Slim-Fast
Now, I guess, he has something against heavy people. Gotta love the "Big Tent" Republicans.
Update:Interestingly, the tag at the bottom of the site says, "It is the policy of this website to avoid posting any knowingly offensive or inappropriate material. Anyone finding such material is urged to Email the webmaster at the above address."
Not only does the anti-obesity quote above belie this, but Kuck doesn't actually provide an e-mail address to send complaints to.
