Liberal media, my ass.
On Sunday, the Washington Post explained how the strategy to save Tom DeLay would play out:
As explained by insiders, the DeLay survival strategy is to attack the critics, including questioning the motives of reporters and the funding sources of watchdog groups; leak data making it clear that Democrats engaged in many of the same practices; and relentlessly curry loyalty with his two bases outside the Capitol -- national conservative groups and Republicans in his district.So, here's how to become part of the effort to save poor Tom DeLay. Let's call ourselves ace reporter, Brody Mullins.
Brody's been at this for awhile. Last year, while working at Roll Call, Mullins wrote a scathing and inaccurate piece about progressive groups titled "Who's Watching the Watchdog?" His tone was all indignant and sanctimonious.
Now, Mullins has a job at the Wall Street Journal. Today, he wrote basically the same piece titled "In Washington, Watchdogs Bear Watching." Clever, huh? But this time, he focused more on the group that's attacking DeLay -- Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington (CREW) -- that's of course in keeping with the GOP strategy outlined above. That way, the RNC would have something to put on their web page. That just proves that Tom DeLay is just being picked on by the mean liberals. Poor Tom DeLay.
Yep, this really happened.
It does say one thing: CREW is making a difference for the GOP to wage this strategy against them. I say, keep it up, CREW....despite what Brody Mullins writes over and over.
Liberal media, my ass.
