Nashville Escorts: Because When Michael Steele Refuses To Return a Racist’s Phone Calls, That’s News!
10 02 2010Robertson serves as the face of the “distrust” that the Post tries to portray in the piece. [Philip] Rucker writes, “Robertson said he has reached out repeatedly to [RNC chairman Michael] Steele but has been rebuffed. ‘He hasn’t called me back,’ Robertson said. ‘I find that disconcerting.’”
Also disconcerting is that the Post published that quote with a straight face. If the paper had bothered to assign someone to cover the burgeoning Tea Party movement, its editors would have known that Robertson doesn’t actually represent anyone, except maybe himself. Nor is this the first time Robertson has complained to a gullible reporter that the GOP is ignoring him. But the Post should have known that Michael Steele, a black man, isn’t likely to return the calls of a guy who just last week sent out a fundraising appeal featuring a photo of Obama dressed as a pimp.
