Bill O'Loughlin, He's Fed Up!
Running an independent media outlet is a daily adventure. When Marc and I wake up in the morning, we’re never sure what kind of political rumor we’ll receive in our Inboxes. As a matter of course, we leave the rumor mongering to the less ethical corners of the Buffalo Blogosphere while we wait for hard evidence of someone being a jackass. This is why I don’t get to print half of the cool gossip I’m privy to…Marc being a real journalist and Alan being a lawyer tends to kill all the fun.
So, what did I find in my Inbox this morning? Firm evidence of Candidate for Erie County Clerk Bill O’Loughlin’s social grace, panache, and penchant for hissyfits over perceived social indiscretions at his country club.

Your Daily Homework
Who was this call directed to? Who are Bob and Marilyn? Was this just a recording then left on your voice mail? all sounds a bit bizarre.
Bob and Marilyn were the submitters, they recorded it and sent it to us. They asked to remain private aside from their names in the voicemail.
Dude…I have switched servers and think my tracbacks are being spammed…could you check as I wrote about this on my site…damn INTERNETS…
This is too funny by the way…
What a complete dick ! He’s “ready to go to jail” ….. I’m sure he’ll teach all the other inmates all abiout social panache !
Hey roadtrip …. from what I could gather :
Mr. “Fed up” must have used his position on the Amherst council to get a retention pond cleaned out for a resident/friend/aquaintance. Apparently the resident/friend/aquaintance then sent him a letter thanking him, but that wasn’t good enough “in the big leagues”. It seems he was looking for a donation to his campaign, but since he now feels that the resident/friend/aquaintance isn’t “rich enough” he will take him off the donor rolls. He also apparently thinks that a husband can “control” their wife …
Like I said before … what a dick.
As the world turns…. I don’t think anyone in WNY is exactly shocked and awed over this. Although I like many others find more humor in it that seriousness. That’s really rather disturbing now that I think about it.
Jim Keane keeps saying he will shake things up, I think Bill will cause tremors! I’m voting for him just because he doesn’t seem to care who he ticks off! It’s about time someone around here is fed up, I know I am!
Hey Haterade, get a life! You handle says it all. If you can’t control your wife, you must be very limp wristed…
Rumor has it that Bill knows how to control his wife when he’s fed up. A quick punch to the mouth will get her under control in a hurry, eh Bill? Rumors have persisted about his spousal abuse for years yet no one in the media has looked into it. Why not?
tikiman = Bill o
“limp wristed” ? Is that supposed to be some sort of homosexual reference ? Nope … I’m not gay, and not sure what that would have to do with anything anyway …. but I’m sure I could “control” your punk ass any day.
“He’s Fed-Up”?
Hey! Wait a minute there….
I am not responsible for claims made by commenters in this thread. Also, let’s not have this devolve into threats and insults. You stay classy, Buffalo.
That’s the kind of juicy stuff I’ve been waiting for…Thanks to the whole cast – please take a bow
Hi, this is Bill O’Loughlin calling.
What I’m about to say to you I’d like to say in person, but I never have a chance to do so, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to the Park Country Club to do it, so therefore I choose not to, and since I don’t see you anywhere else, I thought I’d leave a voice mail to try and let you know what I have on my mind.
I’ve heard, Marilyn that you’re mad that you think I’m mad because you or Bob didn’t give me a contribution for my political fundraiser. It has nothing to do with that. Nothing whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I took you off my contribution list. You’ll never hear from me again – race big or small – if I ever run one in the future, I not only don’t want your contribution, I don’t want your vote.
I want people who are pretty elastic, who aren’t pretty sensitive, who are wealthy enough to be big contributors to me, and clearly you don’t fall into that camp, so don’t even bother.
But the real reason I don’t like what you do, Marilyn, is the way you unload on Linda. Bob, you’re the member – you’re supposed to control your spouse. You let her wander all over the club, a couple of glasses of wine, and she unloads on Linda about her or her other problems.
I asked her nicely after 20 minutes at our table wanting to please excuse us cuz we don’t get out very often. Linda and I go out two nights a week, that’s it. I’m not going to sit there and listen to the problems of her, when we all have our own problems. Bob – you know it and I know it, we all do. We either have them or we will have them, and I don’t wanna hear anybody else’s, nor do I expect people to hear mine.
That’s not appropriate, Marilyn. It’s not appropriate Bob. And you know you’re wrong, if you think about it. If you think about social panache and think about what you’re doing.
Also, Bob, don’t ever tell me again, you know how the game is played. You don’t know how anything is done in politics if you think a letter – a letter – would suffice to thank me for getting that retention pond cleaned out. I pulled out more markers than you’ll ever know to try to help you as a friend, and your gratitude is really most noticeable – you don’t have any. I get men over there that nobody would have done for you except me, and you couldn’t have got anyone to do it for you.
Don’t tell me you know how the game is played – letters don’t hack it, Bob. And…
(message ends)
Hi, Bob & Marilyn, Bill O’Loughlin again. I know the tape ran out, but it’s important you hear everything. By the way, I’ll tell you all of this in person. I’m not trying to avoid you in person, I just don’t know when I’ll see you. Bob, if I ever experience your cocky attitude again that you displayed out there the other day on the terrace, you’ll regret it.
You have no idea how I can take you and make you look like a cocky, arrogant person you pretend to be. Don’t ever do that to me again.
Remember, guys, I did nothing to you. You go to a party at the 20th Century Club? No thank you note. Any social grace would tell you, Marilyn, to do that. But you don’t want to do that? That’s fine.
I help you get your retention pond cleaned out and you want to give me a letter? C’mon. Stop the bullshit. Bob, you’re playing kindergarten, I’m playing the big leagues. Quite frankly, I don’t have room for you in my game.
Any time you want to talk to me about anything, you can do that. I’ll do it in person or on the phone.
But I’m telling you guys, don’t you ever steal me out at the Park Country Club again. If you do, I’ll make you look like the social inept people you are. You want to be cocky and arrogant around me? You want to walk around, Marilyn, after a couple glasses of wine? And unload your problems on me, and then go over to the Culligans for a half an hour? If I were them, I would have thrown you away from the table.
Brian Culligan looked like he was ready to go to sleep. Marilyn, shame on you. Any good businessman would know better not to do that.
And Bob, you should control your wife. She’s not the member, you are. You wanna talk to me? You know where to reach me. You don’t? That’s fine too. Thank you for listening.
wow, these days how could someone running for office be so dumb as to leave a message like that on a recorded medium?
Unbelievable…
This guy has a face for radio. I never liked the guy on WBEN and this just reinforces my view.
i think he said
“I want people who aren’t *price elastic, who aren’t *price sensitive, who are wealthy enough to be big contributors to me, and clearly you don’t fall into that camp, so don’t even bother.”
pretty elitist
It appears that Bill might get his wish to go to prison. . .for ethics violations. What a lousy guy.
I once worked at this club and cannot stop laughing at this typical Willy O freak out. For those of who were not aware, this is his normal attitude, the “I deserve everything from everyone and you better do it yeasterday” attitude. I guess we all know that Willy doesn’t need anyones vote that makes less than 300,000 a year so now we all know how to vote. I guess we also know that he has already become a typical politician, who uses government services to help out his friends or I guess even his enemies, for campaign money. Remember on tuesday, he doesn’t NEED our vote.
Disturbing.
Bizarre.
Funny as hell.
Bill O’Laughlin: He’s F’ed up.
Bill not only beat the hell out of his former wife, but his two daughters and his mother-in-law who lived with them too. Ever see the guy with his family in a campaign photo?
And this is just the tip of the iceberg…
