Weekly Standard Reporter Pushed Outside Coakley Fundraiser
American Spectator ^ | 1.12.10 @ 9:38PM | By Philip Klein

The Weekly Standard's John McCormack reports that he was pushed by somebody connected to the campaign of Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley after trying to ask her a question outside of a fundraiser in Washington Tuesday evening. You may recall that McCormack is the same reporter who contributed to Dede Scozzafava's implosion in the NY-23 congressional race when one of her campaign staffers called the cops on him.

The DNC system in Massachusettes (spelling courtesy of Attorney General Coakley)

The guy who did the pushing is former congressman Marty Meehan’s brother (I don’t recall his first name at the moment). He’s a long-time Democrat political hack who has been detailed (by the WH I understand) to drag Martha over the finish line....

The Boston Herald confirmed that the attacker was Michael Meehan, one of Coakley's consultants.

He must have been trained at SEIU and ACORN's School of Political Persuasion.

Marty Meehan’s brother? Really? Used to be my congressman. Do you have any link confirming the link?

Does a state AG, and I presume officer of the court, have an affirmative duty to report any crimes she witnesses? What, if anything, would be her penalty for failing that duty?

Is that an SEIU shirt he is wearing under his suit coat?

Yeah, mine too! No, no link available. (Just chatter on Hannity, Lucianne, et al.)

But check out the strong family resemblance!

The resemblance is there, but I just can’t imagine Howie or someone else at the Herald wouldn’t have picked up on it—the guy’s been in multiple MA campaigns.
