FactCheck: Conway Ad "Well Documented"

By Big Tent Democrat

I'm not invested in Jack Conway's run for Senate from Kentucky. Would he be better than Rand Paul? Obviously. But he'll just be a Blue Dog Dem. Russ Feingold's race is the one that matters most to me.

But I was amused by the Beltway Blogger storm over Conway's "disgraceful" Aqua Buddha ad. I think the ad is ineffective, but the idea that it was disgraceful is just plain funny. What world do these Beltway Bloggers live in? But I especially like the outrage ringleader's defense of his outrage:

[T]here's a difference between the role of the journalist and the role of the politician. [. . .] So even if Conway is right to kick Rand Paul in the groin, I'm also right for pointing out that's what he's doing.

But "the Left" is wrong to do it about Obama's policies and are idiots for doing so according to Chait. He's a "journalist" you see. What a clown.

Speaking for me only
