LOL - Scarboy- Spokane Mayor story - Did the Newspaper go too far?!!
Unbelievable!

I stopped on MSNBC because they were showing a taped piece on the newspaper and the Mayor.

After the bit, Scarboy comes on and says "I don't think that Mayor needs to worry about running for Governor but I want to focus on the newspaper, Did the Newspaper go too far?"

The graphic underneath read "Newspaper Out to Get Mayor?"

I literally was laughing out loud! Way to spin Joey!:crazy:

1. Yes it was hillarious...
It's all about the hypocracy, but hypocracy is a requirement for being a Republican.

3. Welcome to DU. Their ability to spin is really amazing. Instead of
ignoring the story, they are trying to use it against that nasty "liberal" media.

No investigating of Republican public officials Allowed!

Somebody didn't get the memo.

2. I've heard several local RW Talk show hosts use the same spin
They say talking about West's allegations are "boring" - so they talk about if it was OK for the paper to do what it did. I'm sure the quested Ken Starr's motive too...

4. "Boring?" They just have a nerve level that is so much higher than ours.
I think it is that "reality based" thingy that keeps us from arguing such idiotic things with a straight face.

It really does limit our arguments.

They have such a wider variety BS to choose from when reality does not enter into the equation.

5. He's just mad the guy was a repuke.
I doubt he would have had that headline if the mayor was a Democrat.
