“Todd Harris, a campaign spokesman, said Mr. Thompson’s speaking engagement ran later than expected and “it came to a decision between doing a media availability or spending time with the Virginia delegation,’’ adding, “We opted to spend time with the delegates as opposed to the Washington press corps.””
You even admit that this is a suspect posting by you, there isn’t anything to work with here.
We don’t know what happened or why, we don’t know squat.
What is there to talk about? This one is not one of your better postings.
You pretended that this was an excerpt, giving the impression that it is a longer article, it isn’t, you posted all of it.
That may be why your commentary on it is longer than the short blog itself.
It seems that times have “changed.”

Oops! Sorry...hit on the wrong link.

To expound on your reply...
“For good measure, Mr. Harris added, “It’s not all about the D.C. press corps.” Though, he added, Mr. Thompson – whose performance on the stump has come under withering criticism that continued through his appearance at the Americans for Prosperity event – has held plenty of press availabilities out on the road.”
I’ve seen that “withering criticism” right here, and it never seems to be able to hold water.
As far as this goes...
“For good measure, Mr. Harris added, “It’s not all about the D.C. press corps.”
Yeah him!
I LIKE that. ;o)
LOL!! FRedburt (#119) is gone. I always thought that shot of Burt was awful, anyway. I like leaving things to the imagination.
