Ken, you lame-ass hypocritical slut...
CBS's Bob Schieffer yesterday called out RNC headcheese Ken 'values' Mehlman on just who the fuck they think they're kidding with their excuses for the "where de white wimmen at?" Harold Ford commercial they've been running:
SCHIEFFER: But you paid for it.
MEHLMAN: I've talked to Senator McCain and to Senator McConnell, both of whom have been on different sides of the campaign reform issue. Both agree that a law which says the Republican National Committee pays for the ad, but it's also illegal for the Chairman of the RNC, for the political director of the RNC, or the communications director of the RNC...
SCHIEFFER: But, but Mr. Mehlman, the logic... if I think something is wrong but I take advantage of a law that allows me to take advantage of that, that's pretty lame, if I may say so.
MEHLMAN: My response to that ad is the same response Mr. Ford had from a race perspective. I would not have put the ad up. I did not think that it was necessarily a racist ad, at the same time...
SCHIEFFER: But you approved of it.
MEHLMAN: I did not approve of it.
SCHIEFFER: You said you thought it was "fair." You're on the record saying that.
MEHLMAN: Well I thought some of the issues raised in that ad, the issue of taxes, I think those are fair issues, on the other hand I personally would not have put that ad up.
SCHIEFFER: But what does that say -- you talk about "values" and stuff -- that you're taking advantage of an ad when you know what it says is wrong and you admit that it ought not to be that way but you're willing to take advantage of it. Nice going, dickhead.
