As many hardcore political news consumers know by now, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart went after another black woman who earned her stripes in the Civil Rights movement this week.
That’s a joke.
Right?
Breitbart hurt his cred with the Sherrod tapes and the media will use that an exscuse to ignore this scoop. He really has to be careful.
How utterly sad!
What has that got to do with her extortion? Either she broke the law or she didn't. Remember, Lady justice has her eyes covered. Lady Justice has no idea what color Holmes is.
What did Breitbart do? I heard the tape on the radio this morning. She had obviously left a voice mail message on some lobbyist’s answering machine. The tape quality is excellent, and Norton speaks clearly and distinctly. She alludes to her years of exerience on the House Committee that deals with infrastructure and the fact that she is personally “in charge” of the project to build the new Homeland security headqaurters on the grounds of the old St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in DC. She says the guy has given to others on the Committee, and she doesn’t understand why he hasn’t given to her, since she is such an important player in the field in which this guy has a significant interest. She would like him to contribute money to her. It’s all there, very straightforward, in her words, loud and clear with no prompting by anyone else. This was no sting operation, so there is no possibility of entrapment. It sure sounded like a shakedown to me.
