So Let Me Get This Straight

So according to the media, when then-Saint Paul mayor Randy Kelly – a moderate DFLer – endorsed George W. Bush for President in 2004, DFLers were right – says the media and the DFL – to repudiate him and chase him from public life…

…but today, when Arne Carlson – who endorsed Barack Obama and pointedly remained on the sidelines on Tim Pawlenty – speaks, we Republicans are supposed to bend a knee in reverence?

Especially since he represents exactly the sort of spend til you drop government that we conservatives are fighting against today?  The kind that Barack Obama and Mark Dayton support?

I haven’t figured that one out yet.

(The question came from regular commenter DiscoStoo, although not in exactly this form).

    Let us also not forget that Arne is now a ‘grand fatherly figure’ in MN politics.

    I’d be happy to “bend a knee” to Irrelevant Arne; just before I employ my foot to his ass.

    Who are “the media” to you?

    Anyway, the point I was making is it is OK to deny “party status,” whatever it might be, to someone who lends support to the opposing party.

    So really, the headline should have been “Former Republican Supports Former Republican.”
