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 Hatchs aggressive reputation showed through Thursday for one of the few times in this years 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 governors race. He wants to beat up on a woman.
Hatchs anger overflowed during a Thursday morning telephone interview.
A Forum Communications reporter asked Hatch about Dutchers knowledge of ethanol and why she wasnt available to discuss the issue. Hatch abruptly ended the interview with: Youre 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 Dutchers comments.
I guess I should be reasonable... its not like he was using obvious and blatnet well known everyday racial slurs like MACACA.
in other news, the DU wants to know why kerry is still in the news after 3 days and what the heck happened to the foley scandal that has mysteriously disappeared after 3/4 weeks..
when a liberal says something like this, it will never go anywhere..
How about a Macaca whore? Are there any of those in the media?
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.
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.
Note to me:You're not Your.
This leads them to fall apart when they come into contact with a reporter that doesn't defer to them like usual.
I guess this is why we don't see much of Pelosi these days just prior to the voting.
I've heard Democratic Far Left, or Dumb F***ing Liberal
Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party
DFL-Democrat Farmer Labor
Yours is the best yet.
