I heard Erick Erickson on Herman Cain’s show yesterday. What a little self promoting, name dropping weasel.
Amidst all the hype to promote himself and those luminaries he knows, he goes into this litany of how he contacted the Trump campaign, blah, blah, blah, and didn’t get the answers he deserved, so he (actually said something about RSG not tolerating observant Republicans - those who won’t pledge to vote for THE nominated candidate, blah, blah) disinvited him.
This weasel walks a very thin line between an official political organizer (e.g., with Red State Gathering to which he’s said is “his”), and commentary as a consultant and finally as an on-air personality on WSB radio daily 5-7 PM.
To my mind, something is very wrong here. He’s not on a line; he’s on both sides of it, over and under it. If he is collecting money to run a political event such as RSG as well as doing the other activities, I’d think if I were the FEC I’d be asking WSB what do they think they’re doing?
Erickson is in it for Erickson and when it comes to political advice and consultancy, he’d be last on my list to take seriously.
Yep
I heard him on the radio, too. Seems Mr. Erickson was in full-swing damage control. Mr. Erickson’s brand is forever tarnished in my mind.
We are in the Age of the Power Trip.
“What a little self promoting, name dropping weasel.”
Sums him up perfectly (except the “little” part).
As for WSB radio, it puts on the air whatever it thinks will generate the biggest audience and, hence, ad revenue. As an example, WSB is the home base for Clark Howard and Wes Moss, who routinely and soundly advise small investors against trying to time the stock market. On the same day, WSB will air a show (which is a thinly disguised infomercial) hosted by a couple of guys hawking their “can’t miss” scheme for ... timing the market.
