Unanswered Questions

So, there I am, blogging on the DFL Presser, when the guy from The UpTake wants to interview me. Why? It seems that republiCon Leadership STILL doesn't answer questions, from bloggers. Let me back up - let's look back to republiCon Ron's presser last April, where republiCon Ron wouldn't answer this blogger's question, which was along the lines of: "Mr. Chairman, given your "stewardship" of the State GOP finances first as Treasurer and now as chair, and given the fines and amended and then re-amended financial reports, aren't you and the republiCons trying to hold Mr. Franken to a standard you and the party have not been able to meet, yourself?"

So, at yesterday's presser, after republiCon Spokesman Mark Drake commandeered the podium and then (lamely) ripped Franken's "four letter language", I asked Mark: "Mark, isn't the GOP's criticism of Franken's language trying to hold him to a standard that Vice-President Cheney, in the Senate, didn't manage to meet?"

Well, tried to. Watch for yourself, ol' Smokescreen's Spokesman, Mark Drake, refuse to answer my question.

The republiCon Party Of Minnesota LOVES to demand others answer questions; the fact that they - including Team Smokescreen - won't answer questions only serves to demonstrate, once again:

"Hypocrisy, Thy Party is GOP (GreedOverPrinciples)."

Oh, and if someone has Mark's e-mail address, please forward this to him. I'd like to let Mark know, now and for certain, that the reason Franken called republiCons "Shameless D*cks", is, as you, yourself proved, once again yesterday, YOU ARE "Shameless D*cks."

The DFL schedules a presser, then you, Mark Drake, official spokesman for Team Smokescreen, commandeer the podium, and then refuse to answer questions at a room booked by someone else?

Shameless, Mark - simply shameless. You should go (cheney) yourself.

Oh, and in the immortal words of D*ck (cheney)in' Cheney, to Neil Cavuto, on Fox TV, when Cheney was asked about telling someone to "Go (cheney) yourself", what I just said is "appropriate."

Hey - if it works for Cheney, without a peep of reproach from the republiCons, then it works for me. Unless, of course, the republiCons demonstrate their usual hypocrisy.......
