Barbara West's husband: I didn't write her questions -- and I'm no longer working as a political con

Wade West, husband of WTV-Channel 9 anchor Barbara West, wants to clear up confusion in the blogosphere.

"I'm being listed as a primo political guy. Incorrect," he told me Tuesday morning.

He is not -- repeat not -- working as a Republican media consultant. Barbara West told me on Monday she had failed to update her station bio to reflect his current business. These days, Wade West has a company that stages charity auctions.

He stressed that he didn't work exclusively with Republicans. He worked with Paul Wellstone, the late Minnesota Democrat, in combatting human slavery. West also worked with the Clinton administration to fight teen drug use in Sweden, Italy, Argentina, Canada and Iceland.

There's another theory floating out there that Wade West wrote Barbara West's questions for her much-discussed interview with Sen. Joe Biden.

"I didn't. I wouldn't presume to," Wade West said. "I absolutely had nothing to do with writing the questions." He was out of town at a charity event, he added.

When I asked Barbara West if he had helped with her questions, she said: "No way. Come on. I have been in this business too long to have to sit down and say, 'What should I ask?' "

The WFTV anchor has been busy with TV appearances Monday morning and through the day Tuesday.

And she's weary. "I'm ready for this news cycle to move on," she said.

Oh my G-D he worked for a Democrat! Wellstone and Clinton.

[King of Florida]

From the title of this thread, I thought someone who once worked for Wellstone physically attacked West’s husband.

[Maelstorm]

The left is crazy what can I say. Attack attack attack. Let’s send them home crying on election day.

[Moconservative]

The Obama/Biden campaign cannot be questioned.

They are always right.

Ask the wrong question and they will destroy you and your family!

No one can question the Messiah and his campaign.

[Question Liberal Authority]

So it would be OK to attack him if he were a Republican?

[Auntie Toots]

I sense that these people are feeling intimidated...or should I say frightened? It is becoming apparent that we can't not get on the wrong side of Barrack Hussein Obama....and to think that this guy will be elected by people who think he is the Messiah.

It is indeed frightening. If Obama is elected we can say goodbye to the United States we grew up in.

Another example how these people don’t just make war upon their “enemies”, but their enemies’ families as well.

Home made title......

in combatting human slavery

As opposed to what other kind of slavery? Robot slavery?

[Red_Devil 232]

"...with the Clinton administration to fight teen drug use in Sweden, Italy, Argentina, Canada and Iceland."

Why were fighting teen drug use in these countries?

[AnglePark]

And they’ll keep it up, too, until we fight back. It’s time for good, decent Americans to stand up to these thugs.

There's another theory floating out there that Wade West wrote Barbara West's questions for her much-discussed interview with Sen. Joe Biden. "I didn't. I wouldn't presume to," Wade West said. "I absolutely had nothing to do with writing the questions." He was out of town at a charity event, he added. When I asked Barbara West if he had helped with her questions, she said: "No way. Come on. I have been in this business too long to have to sit down and say, 'What should I ask?' "

So here's another conservative woman being attacked by liberals as somebody who couldn't possibly have come up with such questions by herself, and needed a man to help her?

The Clinton Administration fought teen drug use in Sweden, Italy, Argentina, Canada and Iceland?!? I guess those would be states 51-55 - still need to name two more for 57.

[Harry Wurzbach]

What does it matter who her husband worked for? If journalists who had Democrat ties were prevented from questioning Republicans there wouldn’t be anyone to ask them the questions.

[skeeter]

I'd put together a list detailing the number of network news personalities who've either worked for the democrats or have spouses working for democrats but what would that prove - that liberals are hypocrites?

I think that point has been made well enough already.

[SE Mom]

The slimy tactics of the left continue without missing a beat.

[Momaw Nadon]

Wade West said. "I absolutely had nothing to do with writing the questions."

This guy talks as if he is being persecuted or something.

Oh, wait a second, he is married to the brave woman who dared to ask Biden tough questions.

[popdonnelly]

So now they’re attacking this woman because she “embarrassed” Biden. You can’t trust these people. They’re opposed to you and to your freedoms. Meanwhile, they lavish undue praise on the socialist Obama.

[Wonderama Mama]

mark my words, pretty soon we're going to know all about Barbara West, her tax situation, sexual picadellos and if her kids Facebook friends like her or not.BTW assuming her husband wrote the questions is a bit sexist IMO.
