| Memo from the Beige Mobile Command Center ... go forth and smear! The man behind some of the most “reprehensible” — in the words of John McCain — GOP attack ads in recent memory is getting involved in Michigan’s gubernatorial race. According to campaign finance reports, Scott Howell and Company, whose partners were involved with infamous campaigns ads attacking Max Cleland and Harold Ford, has been hired as a media consultant by Oakland County Sheriff and GOP candidate for governor Mike Bouchard. Political consultants say Bouchard’s hiring of the firm may indicate that Bouchard is preparing to get in the “gutter” in the GOP nomination battle. And the history of Scott Howell and Company’s partners certainly indicates a knock-down, drag-out campaign may be in the offing for this hotly contested race to succeed term limited Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
Time to kick back, put your feet up, grab a snack (might I suggest a tray of chicken patty, noodles and brown sauce, enriched dinner roll, and box of fruit juice from Bouchard's Good Tyme Privatized Jail Eats Emporium), and get ready for high entertainment. |
