Is the SSA Backing Ehrlich for Governor…?

The answer is “No,” of course the Social Security Administration (SSA) isn’t backing former Governor Ehrlich for Governor.

However, David Nawrocki – father of GOP Baltimore County Council candidate, Ryan “Shall Not Abuse” Nawrocki is backing Ehrlich, which is certainly his choice. David Nawrocki is, in fact, the 7th District Coordinator for Ehrlich’s 2010 MD GOP gubernatorial campaign.

What I didn’t know until last night, however, is that David Nawrocki, who was former top dog at the Republican Club of Northeast Baltimore County and who graciously hosted “Ehrlich Theme Team Meetings” at his Perry Hall abode, also works for the SSA.

So what? You may ask. Who cares? You may wonder.

Check out this completely verbatim (formatting changes from the cut’paste and the partial redaction of his phone numbers, notwithstanding) email from David Nawrocki that was forwarded to me last night by an individual on Ehrlich’s campaign list who was among its recipients….

Did you catch it – David Nawrocki’s odd wording in the body of the email that tells recipients to not reply because “we will lose your information,” but to instead “Copy and paste my email below into the “To” area of this email?” Why would Nawrocki made that suggestion?

Take another peek at the originating email address…which just happens to be David.Nawrocki@ssa.gov.

Can you say “Violation of the Hatch Act?” I knew you could. So did an attorney who was asked.

The fact David Nawrocki illegally sent an Ehrlich Campaign email from his federal government email account begs many questions, the least of which being: Considering David Nawrocki sent this email to the Ehrlich list on Monday, May 17, 2010 at 4:16:21 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern (and was forward to me within 45 minutes) couldn’t he have waited a few hours to get home before sending it out?

Who the Hell is he trying to impress? What the Hell was he thinking? Is intelligence hereditary in the “family?”

Another, more serious, question would be: What is the Social Security Administration going to do about the fact its employee David Nawrocki used its computer/email accout to send out an absolutely blatant political email intended to bolster the election efforts of former Governor Ehrlich?

If the SSA is backing Ehrlich…we could expect Nawrocki to likely slide through unscathed for wasting the taxpayer dime and time in his political pursuits. If, however, the SSA is not backing Ehrlich, I would think it would want to prove its displeasure by taking appropriate measures against an employee who used its taxpayer funded time and dime to violate the Hatch Act.


(If the bosses at SSA kick David Nawrocki to the curb for his abuse of taxpayer funded equipment and time…perhaps he will end up cracking un-hatched eggs as a short order breakfast cook at some fine eatery…)

Whatever comes of this ludicrous “Duh!” episode, one thing is certain: David Nawrocki has proven that certain folks are no longer operating under the same old standard of mundane incompetence and stupidity.

By sending out a pro-Ehrlich “Let’s-get-Volunteers” political email from his federal government computer – and violating the Hatch Act in the process – David Nawrocki has founded, and presently stands proudly alone on, his own Special Level of Idiocy.

Joe Steffen

Joe Steffen, aka "The Prince of Darkness," the nickname coming courtesy of former Maryland Governor Bob Ehrlich. One time partisan attack dog, taker of swords and bullets, and one who would toss himself on the grenade without so much as blinking. Times have changed, and so have I. If you really want the lowdown, slanted though some of it may be, do a google search on "Joseph Steffen Prince of Darkness." Surprise! Regardless, no matter what you may now think...I'm not an "unrepentant terrorist" as is Bill Ayres. Or a "plagerizing soon to be again ex-journalist" - as is Michael Olesker. Or even a Plagerizing Vice President as is Joe Biden. I'm just me, the erstwhile Prince of Darkness, one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet ;)
