Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Hatch, Entenza, What Are They Afraid Of?

Why is it that Democrats run from the media whenever the spot lights are on them?

Normal people probably don’t care much, but it’s a big issue for us in the radio business–politicians seeking statewide office who won’t take questions from reporters. It happened yesterday as noted here by Mr. Scheck when journalists tried to ask legitimate questions of the two top DFL endorsed candidates in the state.

Instead of answering the questions Mike Hatch and Matt Entenza tried to manage the news by issuing written statements. Written statements may have some usefulness in the print media, but for broadcasters they’re pretty much useless. It would seem the primary reason for such a strategy to keep the story off TV.

The post goes on to mention how Pawlenty did the same thing, but you may remember that DFLers couldn’t find enough cameras to stand in front of for that one. So the real question is, what are Hatch and Entenza afraid of?

What was found in the investigation? I’ve been kinda busy so I haven’t been able to devour the entire story completely. Did Entenza hire a PI to investigate a state office? Is that legal? Can I do that? Is it now ok for people to hire PIs for political smear operations?

And to point out what I think is obvious, Entenza was investigating Hatch in case he had to face him in an endorsement or primary. That, to me, is the big story angle that should be pursued.

    No, no. The offense was not hiring the PI to dig up dirt on the opponent. The offense was hiring the PI to dig up dirt on a Democrat.

    This is the PC version of Reagan’s 11th Commandment.

    That’s why the DFL Central Committee and all the participants are trying so hard to keep it under wraps – can’t have the proles believing that DFLers engage in dirty tactics, that’s a smear we reserve for Republicans.
