Who’s on the payroll again?
Minnesota Monitor, ground zero for the local Sorosphere and another entity that would be shrieking were Franken a Republican, instead goes after the source of the story, Michael Brodkarb. It’s line of attack is exceptionally disingenuous given past stonewalling about its own funding sources. It’s also humorous to note that the piece required a correction due to the author’s failure to read an AP story closely.
Nevertheless, MinMon will continue to insist Brodkorb is lying about being “paid to blog” currently, prompting this question at True North:
I have a question for the Monitor: Given the reputation as a giant-killer that Michael Brodkorb has built up, and the fact that he is not a dumb guy, and that he’s got a city full of leftybloggers and DFL opposition researchers scurrying about like cockroaches on amyl, looking for that magic link that’d discredit him, does anyone rationally think that Brodkorb - who claims not to earn his living from politics today - would risk all of that by trying to lie about his income?
Y’know - like the Monitor did?
Heh.
Dear Scaifenet,
Your exalted one, Grand Cyclops of the Minnesota’s rightwing blogosphere is Michael Brodkorb. Not Brodkarb.
Heh, indeed.
Fixed. Thanks!
Let’s keep talking about the issues that matter. I’m very concerned over a blogger outing a politician’s tax consultant’s errors.
PT, where you at? I want to hear your name on the 5 o’clock news for taking it to those left wing wingnuts.
By the way, did you get a chance to take a look at my blog on medical marijuana legislation for Minnesota? We have a gay republican state house representative who voted in favor of the bill last year. I think that is more interesting than so-called tax fraud.
