Minnesota Democrat Rails at 'Republican Whore' Reporter [at least he didn't say macaca ;)]

One of the side effects of the left's control of the media is that Democratic politicians often have trouble dealing with criticism because they aren't subjected to the 24/7 scrutiny that Republicans usually face. This leads them to fall apart when they come into contact with a reporter that doesn't defer to them like usual.

Minnesota's Democratic nominee for the governor's office, Mike Hatch, provided an example of this yesterday in the face of questioning about his running mate's apparent lack of knowledge about the subject of the gasoline additive ethanol.

Mike Hatch’s aggressive reputation showed through Thursday for one of the few times in this year’s heated gubernatorial race.

Hatch lashed out at Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Republicans for attacking his running mate, Judi Dutcher, over a recent incident in which the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party lieutenant governor candidate appeared to know nothing about E-85 ethanol.

“This governor is afraid to debate me on issues,” said Hatch, the current attorney general who recent polls show is narrowly leading Pawlenty in the governor’s race. “He wants to beat up on a woman.”

Hatch’s anger overflowed during a Thursday morning telephone interview.

A Forum Communications reporter asked Hatch about Dutcher’s knowledge of ethanol and why she wasn’t available to discuss the issue. Hatch abruptly ended the interview with: “You’re nothing more than a Republican whore. Goodbye.” He then hung up.

Television crews following the Duluth native Thursday reported other sharp comments when reporters pressed him for response to Dutcher’s comments.

Add this to the list of "out of line insults" the dems throgh around without consequence.

I guess I should be reasonable... its not like he was using obvious and blatnet well known everyday racial slurs like MACACA.

Nothing worse than a democrat temper tantrum.

Wow, a cheap shot from a leftist?

Say it ain't so.

Rush was right, they're funniest when they're angry.

I just love to watch the DFL implode. They are so predictable and have been for fifty years.

Yes, when the Democrats are at all confronted, their masks come off. Just like Saddam's mask, when President Bush attempted talks with him pre-WOT. Saddam went into hiding. Satellite Imagery showed that Saddam's forces were organizing. Bloggers out of Iraq spoke of the sandbags being lain around Bagdad and wondering if they themself would be forcibly used as a Human Shield for Saddam's Imperial Army.

And in the Iraqi courts: Ask Saddam a question which is only even slightly confrontational, and he erupts into a violent fury.

The comparisons in behavior are worth noting.

I'm a little afraid to ask, but what is DFL. I think I stayed home because I had mumps the day that came up.

Your not alone, I don't know either. Maybe it's democratic far left or something like that. They should send out a memo on these things.

I guess this is why we don't see much of Pelosi these days just prior to the voting.

but what is DFL

It is the Democratic Football League. It differs from other games of 'organized ball' in that the object is to keep the ball away from the Democrats not because they may score, but because they may take the ball and go home.
