Gotcha
So my buddy David K and I have a difference of opinion...again.
He was talking about a couple of pieces I wrote recently about candidates ducking and dodging because they are afraid of answering questions that are tough, but on point and never about stupid or irrelevant stuff.
It took me a while to realize it, but David K is coming to the defense of Cortney Niland because he is supporting her. Thats cool, whatev.
But I wanted to clarify a couple of things. I don't look for the gotcha moment, he and maybe others, just perceive it that way because I carry around video and audio with me. I do that so that no one can say I am making something up.
The other reason might be because I am not afraid to ask questions. I don't just critique here in the blogosphere, I will ask a question to their face.
Some people feel they need to be sheltered. I am always suspicious of those types of people, and you should be too. We have shitty leadership sometimes because we don't check out our leadership.
Hell I know people who spend more time checking out people's pics on Facebook than they do finding out about candidates. Thats not a joke.
But the funniest part about DK's piece is that he glosses over the fact that Niland opened a campaign office in a district she isn't running in. As I said, its just within the bounderies of the neighboring district, but I only mentioned it because I thought it was funny.
I guess she just wasn't paying attention to details.
So that got me to thinking about something DK said himself just a few months back when he was making a bid deal about the Congressman's flag in his campaign art.
He said, "It's the result of a smug Congressman and a lazy staff that are 100 percent sure they'll win as long as his names is on the ballot. They are so smug, they don't even proof their advertisements for disturbingly bad errors like a backward flag.
I'm glad the chairman of the intel committee has such an eye for detail. "
Just substitute Niland for the Congressman and I would agree with my buddy David K.
Besides, if I was really trying to have fun with his candidate, I would've mentioned the fact that I think her campaign logo looks like the one from Cartoon Network. Or that when I've asked around about Cortney Niland, several people have responded by saying, "Coney Island, the hot dog place?"
Just sayin...
