The Republic finally deigns to notice the antics of JD Hayworth's (R-Coward) surrogate.

Of course, they buried it in the Scottsdale Republic insert of their Saturday edition, and "buried" is the key word here.

My favorite line from the article:
Asked about the comments, Hayworth said he has been unable "to get an accurate accounting of what transpired" even though his campaign spokesman, Brian Hummell, was there.

Couple of possibilities here -

Either JD's spokesman is incapable of telling the truth, or JD is incapable of telling the truth.

Of course, these aren't mutually exclusive possibilities. :)


Thanks to Zelph for the heads-up on this one...

G'night everyone!

They also omitted the most damning line: "No wonder there are anti-Semites."

Casey Newton was aware that this was said when I spoke to him, but chose not to use it for some reason. Also, when I spoke to him he thought that this was a big enough story that it would be carried in the main edition and not just in the Scottsdale insert. Apparently his editors had other ideas. Like saving JD's bacon, perhaps.

The Arizona Republic ran a story about this today in the "Valley and State" section of the Sunday paper. They still omitted the line: "No wonder there are anti-Semites."

Here's the correct link. Oops.
