2. I'm surprised that they would refer to a democratic support group as a "pack."......
1. Yes, very much so.
2. I was shocked! It's a subtle left hook, if you will, that I would never have expected them PI to make at "their own." I am sure the wording was intentional. Normally the papers around here villify the right with far more pejorative words than that.
Could it be a sign that the PI sees the writing on the wall? That this was so brazen that even they can't cover it up? Or are they covering their bases to show that they aren't "biased" toward Gregoire?
