Better late than never: MSM finally notices CWA shenanigans

AFP released the above hilarious video parody of this situation using xtranormal.com. (You WILL be seeing more from BD from this site!)

As posted first here on Bearing Drift last week, we noted how inappropriate it was for a Communication Workers of America representative and Third District Democratic Committee member to effectively strong-arm House Democrats into voting against a benign communications bill.

After a few days to consider it, finally the Washington Post and Virginian-Pilot decided to take notice.

Sensing a potential backlash, Minority Leader Ward Armstrong moved so quick against CWA he also almost got whiplash.

The bill passed out of committee overwhelmingly 20-1. Then the letter from CWA arrived and Armstrong indignantly voted against the bill, along with 19 of his closest Democratic colleagues. Then, when the Post comes calling, suddenly Armstrong grows a backbone and says:

“If they think they’re buying my vote they can keep their money”

Really? The evidence appears to point to the contrary.

PS Would it have killed the Pilot or the Post for a shout-out?

PPS I noticed through this process that it’s acceptable to have union reps in district committees for the Democratic party. Therefore, I would assume the Dems won’t have a problem when the GOP formalizes relationships with, say, the Chamber of Commerce, NRA, or even the AFP, will they?
