Live by the court records, die by the court records

Seems to me if Alan Fine's court records are legitimate news, so are Tim Walz's.

Ah, I love the smell of political napalm in the morning.

Bob, just wondering--

You have a fondness for linking directly to a paid political operative's website (MDE), whose reputation is suspect at best. So why never a link to www.dumpbachmann.blogspot.com on your reporting on the 6th CD race? I don't recall ever seeing one here. Yet some of the most damaging videos in the 6th CD race to date--videos that very well could jeopardize a local church's tax-exempt status--are posted there right now. Breaking news, captured from this past weekend. Check it out:

Always happy to help with breaking news, Bob!

Any video of Bachmann getting arrested?

Nope, just video of Bachmann claiming she has "visions," that God speaks to her, and that she knows that "God is focusing in like a laser beam on this race."

Oh, and there's some good evidence that the "testimony" of this [former] "tax attorney" (and the pastor's explicit endorsement of her) might get the church in trouble with the IRS. (Kudos to Tom Scheck for mentioning this in his Daily Digest.)

"Ah, I love the smell of political napalm in the morning."

Funny, most people think it stinks.
