"The biggest story of the nascent ‘06 campaign"???
For whatever reason, the good folks at Kennedy v. "The Machine" and Minnesota Democrats Exposed seem to think that R.T. Rybak trying to deflect responsibility is somehow going to doom Amy Klobuchar's campaign. That somehow this is the story of the century, and the "legacy media" is ignoring it. There are a number of flaws in this erroneous argument.
My whole point is that KvM and the NRSC claiming that this is the biggest news story in the race is just silly. Rybak was being a politician and trying to pass off the blame. Also, he never said one word about Amy or her office. Of course the "legacy media" is going to ignore it (Hint: IT ISN'T NEWS). Good thing you guys have News Max and Matt "Hurricanes and Homosexuals" Drudge to cover stuff like this.
- Amy Klobuchar is a prosecutor, not a probation officer. Just because he claims that 70% of the murderers in Minneapolis were on probation from Hennepin county is because that's the way things work! Is she the one sentencing them? Can you show me one city in America where a majority of homicides are committed by people with no criminal history?
- Please, MN GOP and NRSC, go through that list and find those murderers, and show me the leniency from Amy's office for the crimes for which they were arrested and convicted. You have like 12 months. Ready... Go!
- Rybak is facing a tough re-election campaign, would it be easier for him to A) accept his share of the blame or B) try to blame someone else? (I should disclaim that I will certainly be voting for Peter "Pete" McLaughlin next Tuesday)
- When you do attack literature like that, take a hint from someone who knows a thing or two about it: If it takes like 13 paragraphs to explain something that isn't that hard hitting, people get confused and it weakens your whole case. (Take a look at my blog, I just ramble on and on and the message gets lost) Anyway, you could never turn this into a 30 second spot, and even if you could, who the hell would care?
- Why doesn't Mark "Screech" Kennedy come out and say that Amy Klobuchar is a bad County Attorney? Isn't that why you guys are trying to say? By the way, what is it with Screech and his unhealthy obsession with meth?
- Amy's record as a prosecutor is her strongest point, why are you trying to make it an issue in the race? That would be like Amy's campaign bringing up how proud Kennedy is that he votes with President Bush 99% of the time; that's Kennedy's strongest point! :) You need to attack your opponent at their weakest point. I don't want to help you out too much, but I think the GOP did a pretty good job recently [1] [2] of showing how women are unqualified to work in our legal system. Amy is a lawyer and a woman, just pull out the Harriet Miers playbook!
- Finally, do you think that anyone within the city limits of Minneapolis will vote for anyone but Amy Klobuchar come November 2006, regardless of what cRybak says?
My whole point is that KvM and the NRSC claiming that this is the biggest news story in the race is just silly. Rybak was being a politician and trying to pass off the blame. Also, he never said one word about Amy or her office. Of course the "legacy media" is going to ignore it (Hint: IT ISN'T NEWS).

Screech. That is pretty good. Hope you don't mind me using it and passing it along to some of the campaign people.
I can't take credit for that (I read it somewhere else), but it really is true, Mark Kennedy looks very much like the character "Screech" from Saved By The Bell.
