“I believe this is one of the most closed, obtuse, misdirecting, camouflaging agencies I have every dealt with.” Source: WCCO’s Pat Kessler, in an interview with Dan Barreiro on KFAN, December 18, 2013

And since nobody will ever confuse Pat Kessler with a conservative, that’s doubly interesting.

So, why is there nothing in this post that identifies what freaking agency the gent is speaking about?

[Zathras]

This is really big.
When you start to loose WCCO, you are loosing your hard core dem support.
The only thing worse for Obummer would be if this was headlines in the Red Star.

I think MNsure is their version of commiecare.

[expat2]

It is in the headline -- at least read that.
MNSure, which is the Minnesota Obamacare exchange, I believe.

[MortMan]

I did read the headline - but thought the quote was taken while on a program aired on “MNsure”.

Thanks for clearing up my confusion.

"The only thing worse for Obummer would be if this was headlines in the Red Star."

It's already bad for Governor Goofy, Mark Dayton.

He's in it up to his eyeballs and with the recent resignation of MNSure's director after she took a Caribbean vacation with the state's Medicaid director, he's got a peck of trouble ahead of next year's elections.

As for WCCO, they have long been the DFL's bought-and-paid-for house organ in Twin Cities media.

Yep.

LOL! Silly wcco not towing the line. If you’ve lost Kessler, you’re losing the war.

Yup.
I used to travel up in the Arrowhead Region, calling on some of the mines. I always found it curious that folks in the mine office would know when I arrived in town, where I bought gasoline, where I was staying the night, etc.
Talk about a “tight community...”
