Town Talk Exposes Kennedy Shill
It may have been a slip of the tongue, but it’s deliciously ironic all the same. In his column today, Robert Morgan of the Alexandria Town Talk (a media outlet not unsympathetic to John Kennedy) had this to say:
For his part, Kennedy’s Internet blog accusing Landrieu of being a liberal “… solidly at odds with the majority in Louisiana” serves little purpose other than to identify her with her party in contrast with more conservative views.
The ‘Kennedy Internet blog’ he is referring to is none other than Kennedy shill Jeff Sadow’s ‘Between the Lines’. Not exactly an official Kennedy campaign blog, but he may as well be.
Congratulations to Robert Morgan and the Town Talk for bringing this important story to light.
