Guess what I got in my mailbox last week. A four page, full color mailing from Congressman Glenn Nye. I’m wondering where the criticisms are from the Virginian-Pilot and Vivian Paige (and other Democrats) who excoriated Thelma Drake for doing the exact same thing!
About Drake:
“does she have to spend thousands of taxpayer dollars to print a four-page, four-color brochure to brag about it?” (Virginian-Pilot)
That’s what I just got from Glenn Nye – bragging for his vote on the stimulus package. Where’s consistency from the Virginian-Pilot?
Obviously, when Thelma Drake does something, it’s worthy of media contempt, scorn and assaults, but Glenn Nye does the exact same thing, and the Pilot offers him Op-Ed space to brag some more, as they did on March 1.
Vivian Paige, noted blogger, took Thelma to task, too.
“Like the previous one, this one is in full color and looks like any other candidate mailing I’ve seen, with a small exception: in the fine print, are the words: This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.” (Paige)
Well, imagine what I see on Glenn Nye’s full color mailing: “This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.”
Let’s go Democrats, media, and everyone else who said a critical word about full color mailings from Drake. Time to either criticize Glenn Nye for the same thing, or admit that it’s only partisan attacks you’re truly interested in.
