Dumb and dumber

When it comes to hilarious comedy teams, Greg Munks and Carlos Bolanos are gaining on Martin and Lewis, Hope and Crosby and Laurel and Hardy. Munks and Bolanos, San Mateo County’s bumbling sheriff and undersheriff (love that term by the way) respectively, were caught in a raid on a purported brothel in Las Vegas last weekend. They were not brought into custody and there were no criminal charges filed. But what the heck were those wild and wacky dudes doing riding around in a limo as they sought out what was described as a “massage parlor?” Hello? A massage parlor _ in Las Vegas? What did these naive worthies expect? Scented lotions, therapy tables and nothing more? How dumb are these guys anyway? This lame tag team appears to have all the street smarts, not to mention common sense, of a couple of clueless Mayberry hayseeds out on the town. They now have about as much credibility as Elizabeth Taylor at a Marriage Encounter seminar. Let’s hope we don’t hear much from them about their 24-7 dedication to crime-fighting on the Peninsula any time soon.

Aw, John; all these guys were doing was a little “undercover” work. Isn’t that what police officers are supposed to do?

Indeed, our two worthies were out there seeking to make Las Vegas safer for all those busy and focused gals at the address in question. And isn’t it just great that all of us are paying the salaries of these two cops. Can’t wait for another whine about a pressing need for more deputies and more dough.

Gosh, and I retired two years ago after working for the county for 32 years, and not once did I ever have so much fun! Why the massage clinic I went to was staffed with real physical therapists, and it hurt like heck. All those back cramps, strains, sprains and real injuries. But now I gotta agree, someone was dumb, it must have been me, if I’d only have known. Just think, … I could have been Sheriff, or maybe the County Manager!

Yes, you apparently missed out on loads of laughs. Perhaps even at taxpayers’ expense, but that has yet to be proven. In any event, hope those cramps and sprains have healed up.

I learned back in September that Carlos Bolanos has no credibility. My husband I were almost t-boned by a truck that blatantly ran a red light while a female officer sat in the lane next to him, chatting away on her cell phone. I emailed him and asked how this officer could be allowed to chat on the phone while we were almost killed. He responded that he spoke with the officer and she “clearly remembers the incident” and the truck did not run the red light. OK, so how many of us “clearly remember” every vehicle we encounter during an 8-hour stretch unless they stand out by doing something illegal? I can only form one of the following conclusions: 1) The female officer has some super memory power, in which case there is a higher calling for her; 2) Carlos Bolanos is extremely gullible; or 3) He lied to us and never had that conversation with her at all.
I’m betting on one of the last two.

Lets give these guys a break,Im a retired deputy sheriff from San mateo County and I have known Sheriff Monks for 30yrs, he is a good Sheriff and a totaly honest man, if he says his back was bothering him and he was seeking relief, i believe him….

If that is indeed the case, then these two guys were about as street-wise and sharp as Pee wee Herman.

John…Keep Fighting the Good Fight. These two characters have added a bizarre new chapter to the legend of the Crooked Gang Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight. Peace.

Michael, unfortunately, you are right on the money. If these fellows are telling the truth, they are apparently from the Barney Fife School of Police Work.
