Public Relations

A bird told me that "Public Relations" consultant Blois Olson - the guy who's sueing Michael "MDE" Brodkorb over alleged defamation - physically walked his press release in to the Star Tribune. I'm awaiting confirmation of that.

But in any case, let's get this straight: Blois Olson..

  1. ...associates with Buck Humphrey, politician, scion of a legendary political family, and person who's been making his living at politics most of his adult life...
  2. ...to round up business for New School...
  3. Three months after the association began (as noted in the Strib, Humphrey approaches Rowley's campaign three months after associating with Olson.
  4. Rowley's campaign rejects Humphrey's overture.
  5. At some point later (as noted in MDE, Olson starts dinging on Rowley.
The question for me is partly "Did Humphrey hit up the Rowley campaign on New School's behalf" - that'll come out one way or another.

But if Olson did pimp the story directly to the Strib - "Blois Olson, ultraconnected DFL wonk, commentator and PR flak to the stars, is sueing a frigging anonymous blogger for $50K over something that would seem at first blush to be answerable with a simple look at the timeline" - sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

Would I want to sound ridiculous if I hired a PR agency?

Blois is on AM 1500 with Mark and Ron right now... consider the hosts.

Blois was just on KSTP with Mark and Ron tap dancing around most of the questions. They finally asked him (I think it was a caller that asked?) "why don't you just get Buck to come forward and verify your side of the story?". Lots and lots of tap dancing...

MDE is supposed to be on next Badda...

Blois just said (in answer to the third asking of "how have you been damaged?") that it was all about finding out WHO was behind MDE......

As Gene Kelly sang... "Gotta Dance!"

If you're a typical Democrat, how can you debate anything if you don't have a big fat dossier, with all your opponent's personal and legal problems documented in great detail? Without that, Democrats would have learn to use logic, and might even slip-up and reveal their level of knowledge. And that's not their strong suit. That’s why they don’t like anonymity on the other side. Researching issues is not nearly as much fun as researching opponents.

I think Blois’ PR stunt has backfired. This has ended up generating more publicity for MDE.

I wonder if Blois has any relation to Howard Dean.

Eva,

THAT took you a week to put together?

Mwahahaha!

I will crush it at my leisure.

And quit posting off-topic comments, would you please? You are ethically vacant - that's a given - but are you stupid as well?

Why didn't anyone report that I discovered Mitch's identity ages ago?

Like, gaw-hawd. I'm SO unnoticed.

C'mon guys: Read my blog. Everyone does. Just look at my site meter that I artificially add on to daily by hitting my refresh button.

Yup that wasn't me. And I forgot to link back to this post. The whole MDE thing is a nice little blogswarm - as described by Hugh Hewitt - all these little blogs dutifully posting the same drivel.

My earlier post which said: Polly wanna cracker? was perfectly on point. The point was this post is a good example of Parroting the Talking Points.

What do you think of those thoughtful posts by the most Footly of Learnedness over at the Blog that was former known as the Kool Aid Report?

Seems like there's another episode of the Blois v Brodkorb soap opera here:

Mitch, I'll never understand why you allow that obese moron Eva Young to comment on your blog. The woman is a fat gob of suet and a waste of gray matter. I know people who work around her. She's as worthless a coworker as she is a blogger.

Blois is not a DFL operative. He does his own thing. The only public defense of him has come from Republican Sarah Janecek, who I know is probably not Republican enough for most of you. Well, they are both a couple of moderates, although Sarah is more Republican than Blois is Democrat.

RBMN-
have you ever read any book about politcs written by Democrats? Its all issue research. Even Al Frankens. What you hate is that it shows the hypocrisy with some. This Bush administration ran as conservatives, with them that stopped at some social programs, the spending is as liberal as anyone on my side dared to be. The accountability and oversight is nowhere. Clinton would be in his fourth term is we were able to get away with the shit Bush does.

Yes, I am aware of the Constitution only allowing a President to be elected twice but, since when has the Constitution stopped W?
