NIT – Two supposedly bitter political rivals yucked it up in the Elmwood Cemetery Monday morning.
Mason City Mayor Eric Bookmeyer and former councilman and political rival Max Weaver were seen talking and laughing for nearly an hour as they stood in the roadway near a large American flag.
Bookmeyer was seen looking around nervously – mostly behind him – as the two looked deeply into each other’s eyes, leaned in for whispers, and then bellowed a few deep laughs. The conversation featured some animated arm gestures and pointing in various directions from both.
Here are some shots of the conversation, with some likely banter from each fearless leader.
The real question is, what do YOU think they discussed?
Weaver: “Did I get it all?”
Bookmeyer: (Giggling like a schoolgirl) Well, that was highly inappropriate, but ya, you got me pretty good.
Matt, this was funny sh!t. Thank you. Dot…you’re living proof idiots shouldn’t be allowed to blog.
I think Bookmeyer was asking Max where he could get a bulk price on beer
I hope nobody photographs me when at the cemetery!
“Keep your friends close BUT your enemies closer.”
Maybe…JUST MAYBE….they’re adults to are able to enjoy each other’s company for a few minutes while focusing on what they have in common rather than defining each other by how they’re different.
What a concept.
This is a story? NIT has officially jumped the shark.
I’m giggling (like a school girl) as I think of all Matt’s political aspirations flushed down the toilet.
Well it makes me happy to see these two laughing it up. Life is great. These two acting professionally. Sure makes some of us look bad. I’m proud of you two. Keep up the good work.
This is AWESOME! I bet that Max & Mayor even think it’s funny. Doesn’t matter WHO you support…this shit is hilarious & you KNOW it!
Hey it’s MST 3000!!!!
Rancho DeLux looking good Weave.
I am happy to see NIT add a comic section. Love it. Keep up the good work, we all need a good laugh.
Maybe Max is trying to walk in the foot steps of Jesus, and forgive the sinner.
Well riding the Max Weaver negative gravy train didn’t get me elected last year, so I am going to attack! Yea politics!
What office did you run for? Clown of the county?
Agnes, I ran against you remember? But I lost..enjoy your new job!
House of Cards
If only Bookmeyer had a clue about anything.
If Bookmeyer only KNEW how great of a person Weaver really is. I’m sure it just killed him to talk. Bet Bookmeyer is laughing at part of the convo yet tonight.
Too bad shady wins, at least in the beginning but in the end honesty prevails. It will be too late for Bookmeyer then.
Go ahead Bookmeyer say it.. you can do it SAY IT…you KNOW Max is right about everything and you really do like him…say it! And you only wish you had a shot(not booze) of his personality in you. We know.
There’s a little truth in this … Bookee is about as interesting as watching an old lady crochet a sweater.
This is news….according to North Iowa Today it is I guess….who runs this, a 6th grade girl with a computer?
There’s only one genius out there in charge of NIT. You know who he is.
If “6th grade girl with a computer” is code speak for your probable obsession, you are correct.
Who cares? Amazing how two people having a conversation can be some huge news story. This whole story is a waste of space.
The real question is, how stupid are you to click the story headline so you could read the story if you didn’t think it was news? I’m not even sure what news IS anymore. Have you seen the garbage on KIMT and the news paper? At least this was funny. Everyone at work was talking about it, that’s how I heard about it.
Someone is still bitter…..LOL
To whoever writes this site. It is no wonder Mr. Bookmeyer hates NIT. Sop him up with a biscuit? Just what does that mean? For your information, the Mayor is not “cute” he is a PROFESSIONAL man with more accomplishments than you will ever get close to, so start showing some respect!
I would have replied sooner, but I’ve been in a coma from laughing so hard after I read your comment. Man, you are funnier than Chris Rock. Been honing your skills at the Improv?
@Matt-Hey that chamber idiot is smoking the funny stuff. Professional my butt.
Is that Casey’s coffee Blue Zones approved?
Is a combined 96 inch waist Blue Zone approved?
You go Matt. ROTFLMAO at your wit. Comments were in good taste with a splash of sarcasm and a dash of truth, all in good fun.
They’re laughing about all the people that still choose to live in mason $hitty.
Don’t you live in Rockwell?
Whatever gave you that idea?
This article is living proof that you are not a real journalist.
Well, your comment is living proof you are not a real anything … other than an NIT reader. I think I got ya on that one, friend.
@dot-you have no sense of humor.
Bahahaha ‘dot’ is probably Eric’s mom or maybe his wife the breadwinner, sticking up for poor little Eric the weasel Lvoe it, Matt! More like this please!
