The Scaife Strategy: Smother Teresa

[2Design]

Colin McNickle did not enter the Democratic Convention as an ordinary reporter. As the editorial page editor for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, a newspaper owned by eccentric rightist billionaire Richard Mellon-Scaife, McNickle came to Boston as an agent provocateur. "What happens when a conservative commentator infiltrates the Democratic National Convention?" the Tribune-Review asked in pre-convention promotion of McNickle's coverage. McNickle answered that question on Sunday, July 25 by provoking a spat with Teresa Heinz-Kerry.

2. that's some quality journalism

I wonder if reporters from the Nation or the American Prospect go around doing that to republicans?

3. Back when I was a>>>>

simple-minded youth, I was confirmed as an Episcopalian by R M-S's father, the bishop of the Diocese of Western NewYork. I guess he didn't get much xtian charity on Daddykin's knee. Another reason to loath organized religion.

4. Fascists have picked on the wrong woman

when they try to provoke Teresa by trying to smear and smother her. She wasn't born yesterday; she knows the evil they're up to.

I think Teresa ought to sue Scaife for libel--maybe a few billion will do....just break'em, Teresa!
