Maybe JD thinks any publicity is good publicity

because if he does, then his no show/surrogate ploy at Tuesday's candidate forum at Temple Beth Israel was a brilliant one.

Some of the local bloggers have picked up on it..

Tedski at Rum, Romanism, Rebellion....

Lofty Donkey chimed in...

Geo at Geo's Precinct 134 in Chandler is staying on top if this, too...

Stacy at AZ Congress Watch got in on it, too...

And, of course, the Mitchell for Congress campaign had something to say about it, too.

Now, national bloggers are picking up on it...

Wonkette is all over it this morning...

Who's next?

One positive note for JD - it seems to have driven his recognition by Radar Magazine as one of the 10 Dumbest Congressman right out of the news...

Note: in my original post on this topic on Tuesday night, I called on JD to apologize.

He hasn't done so yet.

I wasn't going to go the the Chamber of Commerce debate between Harry and JD on Monday (it's at 8:30 a.m., and with my work schedule, that's a little early for me) but I am reconsidering that plan. Maybe a direct appeal for an apology would inspire JD to do the right thing.

No, I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen. :)

Later!

Should we start calling you "scoop" now? ;-)

You're going to need a fedora with a little "Press" card in it.

LOL.

No fedora, though. There are too many pics of Jack Abramoff in one. :)

Of course, this being Arizona, maybe I could find a sombrero-style fedora...hmmmm.... :))

The Arizona Republic will be doing a story about this tommorow, but only in the Scottsdale edition.

Zelph - thanks for the info. I'll have to pick up a copy in Scottsdale (normally I get one in Tempe at a store close to work.)

There's another article in The Sunday "Valley and State" section of the AZ Republic today.
