Three Subjects I Ought To Write About, But Won't

1. The DCCC believes it's caught Freedom's Watch in another act of coordination with the NRCC. See here:



The video provides a nice visual hook, but it's also fairly easy to see how script templates would migrate their way through the Republican ecosystem. Indeed, the same template appears, I am told, on the script for a several-years-old gubernatorial ad.

Ed Patru, a Freedom's Watch VP, responds: "The DCCC appears to have used last week’s absurd complaint as a template for this latest complaint – it is recycled nonsense designed to distract from Don Cazayoux’s record of tax hikes and his support of Barack Obama’s expensive government run health care scheme. The DCCC is understandably frustrated having failed to make Don Cazayoux’s record of tax hikes more acceptable to the people of Louisiana, but it’s absolutely remarkable that that they are trying to silence anybody and everybody who opposes Don Cazayoux’s record of middle class tax hikes. Our ads will continue to run."

BTW: Cazayoux is pronounced cashew.

2. Sen. John McCain on Bobby Jindal, from a speech tonight in Louisiana:

Bobby Jindal has had some very able predecessors in office. But last year, after all this state had been through, the moment was right and the people were ready for breakthrough reforms. He stands for a new way of doing business in this state, and it’s a model I intend to apply elsewhere. Some people think that it’s just our youthful vitality that the governor and I have in common. But we share important convictions as well, and it starts with an intolerance of ineptitude, waste, and self-dealing of any kind in any agency of government.
