In The Interest Of Disclosure
By Mitch Berg
I’m a volunteer for the Tony Hernandez for Congress campaign. I’m doing some communications work for the GOP-endorsed candidate in CD4 – the usual, nitty-gritty stuff that are the blocking and tackling of the communication effort behind any local grassroots campaign.
As part of the “job” (no, I don’t get paid), I’ll be writing about Betty McCollum.
Long-time readers of this blog know that that is something I do plenty of anyway. There won’t be much change.
So to sum up: I’ll be doing what I normally do for free on my own, for free for the Hernandez campaign. While I don’t get paid, I still find it deeply unethical for bloggers to blog on behalf of campaigns and not disclose the fact.
Consider yourselves disclosed.

Even when we disagree, I will always say you have talent – he’s lucky to have you — and he should be paying you!!!!!

Hey, it turns out that there is such a thing as voter fraud after all!

Yeah, because if he doesn’t pay you it will be harder to characterize this situation as sinister/illegal in the future on CrazyBlog.

I demand to see 47 years of Berg’s tax returns. Also, I will pay a reward to anyone who has ever heard Berg use the term “Anglo-Saxon” in a positive context.

Not to start unsubstantiated rumors, but I heard that once, when his child forgot the hamster she was supposed to bring to show-and-tell, Berg strapped it on the back of his moped and delivered it to her school. The poor hamster was on the back of the moped for a harrowing 1.2 mile ride, during which the moped’s speed approached twenty-five miles per hour. The hamster was not even equipped with a safety helmet.

In order to adhere to the high standards of Harry Reid, I now claim that the story about the hamster does not come from a single source I will not name, but from several sources I will not name.

Wait, Berg had a hamster? I thought he smelled of elderberries.
