My first-ever – as it’s happening post…
The Fox story about Gov. BS’s claims of committing voter fraud.
Prelude is BigBri’s ad about how he – personally and all by himself – stopped the “Real ID” for Montana. Set the audience up for questioning Brian’s credibility if they knew how that really went down. Probably too much inside baseball for most though.
Eric Shawn framed the story well and hearing the tape of the gov’s own words remains damning. Brad Johnson did fine – sounded very serious, professional, and non-political. I wish he would have been a little more explicit about how fast McGrath’s refusal to investigate was, but Eric didn’t give him much time or ask the follow-up questions.
Personal opinion, here – Conrad didn’t help move the issue forward. His focus on the fact that nothing can change the outcome of the election and the fact that our election laws are fundamentally weak, while valid and certainly worth discussing, diminished the point that we’ve got a donkey’s butt in the governor’s office who – by his own admission – tampered with an election. And that demands an investigation.
Of Note: Fox interviewed BS earlier in the week, and to the best of my knowledge, they haven’t run any of that tape. Wonder why? Perhaps they didn’t have enough meat after they edited out the bull.
If Hood Dowdy was wrangling for an appointment in and N/Obama administration, He just relegated himself to a janitorial job in the basement of the House parking lot. What a fine representative for Montana. But I miss-speak, he is a representative of himself, not Montana. He will be relegated in the dustbin of Montana history.
