Ring Ring: <\/p>\n

Hello Mike McGrath here. Brian is that you?<\/p>\n

Big Mike, what’s happening?<\/p>\n

Brian, I’m starting to get a lot of calls about that speech you made.<\/p>\n

Mike, did you see all them folks in Denver cheering me on. It was great, national news media loved it. You never know where one good speech will take a guy, just look at BO.<\/p>\n

Not that speech Brian, the one in Philly that you gave to the trial lawyers. Folks are calling for an investigation\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah. It was great too. Raised a lot of cash on that trip. Hey Mike, maybe I could introduce you to those guys and you could get a little help with your campaign to the state Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Boy, that would be great Brian-just fax a list of contacts on over. <\/p>\n

Say Mike, was there anything else that I can help you with? I’m kind of busy playing fetch with Jag right now.<\/p>\n

No Brian, that about covers it. Have a good day and send that list over right away. Bye Bye_<\/p>\n

Mike McGrath is the current Democrat Attorney General. He is term-limited out of that position, so being as how he has been sucking out of the public trough for virtually his entire professional life, he is now looking to be elected Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a supposed NON-PARTISAN position. However, when the governor\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mouth got him in legal trouble, he went to his good buddy, Mikey. And Mikey, like the good little Party lapdog that he is, came galloping to the gov\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rescue with such speed and alacrity that he finally gave Ron Waterman a chance to offer the voters a clear picture of the contrast between the two of them.<\/p>\n

Ron is an exceptional, intelligent lawyer with a breadth of legal experience and the kind of judicial temperament that demands a careful and thorough analysis of the information before him before making a decision. Unlike McGrath who has his mind made up and doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t need to be bothered by the facts. Montana cannot afford to have a Supreme Court led by such a legal and intellectually retarded political hack.<\/p>\n

Mike didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do himself or the governor any favors with his lightening-speed refusal to investigate a legitimate complaint by a Montana citizen. Perhaps there is insufficient cause to arrest the governor for conspiracy to commit election fraud, election fraud, intimidating a public official, or extortion, but in the light of Schweitzer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own admission of guilt in these matters \u00e2\u20ac\u201c which may or may not rise to the level of evidence because that speech can be considered as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153statements against self-interest\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, our Attorney General certainly would have better served us and the governor had he conducted an honest and complete investigation. Instead of at least making it look like he was doing the responsible thing, Mike confirmed to all Montanans that he is no more than another puppet dancing to Brian Schweitzer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tunes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
