Shot in the Dark

Fact Checking

I’m not one to jump to rash conclusions.  I’d hate to have my self-appointed betters call me a “lazy-ass activist”, after all – that is one of those things where the mere accusation makes it so, at least if the subject is a conservative in Minnesota, apparently.

So I sent the following email to the Dayton cmpaign.

I’m Mitch Berg, of WWTC-AM’s “Northern Alliance Radio Network” and the blogs “Shot In The Dark” and “True North”.

Senator Dayton has said that he attended the University of Massachusetts at Amherst after graduating from Yale University.

I called Amherst; they said they have no record of a Mark Dayton, DOB 1/26/1947, attending the institution.

I’m sure this is just a paperwork flub on someone’s part. Would there be any way the campaign could confirm Senator Dayton’s attendance?

Thanks, and stay dry!

I’ll be following up by phone later today, if I don’t get an answer.

    There’s that Time magazine article that said he SUCKED as a senator… That’s a kind of paper trail.

    Probably better to follow the trail of cat piss and forget about a paper trail.
