Holy Moly! Bryant Calling the Kettle Black, again...
Lt. Governor Wilder supporter Ed Bryant came out swinging (flailing?) at Corker again today. We have all been amused at the scorched earth route Ed has been taking while trying to play the opposite "Statesman" role simultaneously.
Apparently Bryant has his undies in a twist over the recent hire of Chris LaCivita, one of the master-minds in the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth Campaign. Bryant has followed the lead of famed groups like MoveOn.org in bad mouthing Chris and doing his best to discredit one of the best Republican media guys in the country. Should Ed be worried about Chris working for Corker? Oh yeah. Ed doesn't stand a chance against Corker running the juvenile campaign he is running now.
Bryant goes on to blame Chris for the misconduct of one of his regional subordinates in the '02 campaign basically saying Chris was his boss and the responsibility is his. If we want to continue in that mind set, Senator Bill Frist was Chris' boss at the time and Bryant should lump him in as well. How far are they willing to go to beat up Chris?
If Bryant wants to run a scorched earth campaign, we can't stop him. But he needs to drop the charade of being a decent guy and admit to being the double talking politician his current campaign has proven himself to be. The first couple incidents it was easy enough to blame on his inexperienced campaign team. Now we have to assume Ed Bryant is either calling the shots and wants to run this campaign or is out to lunch. Neither scenario is good for the Party.
If Chris is responsible for the misdeeds of a subordinate, so is Frist.
If Bryant wants to beat up Bob Corker for planning a scorched earth campaign at some later date, he should back away from his current scorched earth campaign of distortion, double talk and innuendo.
