In
Sunday's Washington Post, columnist
Dana Milbank questions
a Bush spokeswoman and a Bush campaign official
[third item] about the discrepancy between
the campaign's English-language and Spanish-language
websites (and decently credited ProjectUSA
as the
source).
From
the column: A Bush campaign official
said last week that the missing immigration
speech was "a complete oversight"
-- and quickly posted the Jan. 7 speech
on the English Web site. The Mexican flag
remains on the Spanish-language site.

Around the House office buildings this morning, and
lasting all day, ProjectUSA will have people handing
out "Dear Colleague" flyers consisting of an exerpt
from the Salt Lake Tribune's Sept 14 article,
"Cannon
drums on immigration despite voters."
We'll keep them there until Chris Cannon admits publicly
that he lied to the voters of Utah, and that his AgJOBS
bill is an amnesty.
[Or, of course, until we run out of money ... please
don't let that happen].
The exerpted portion is at right.
The Salt Lake Tribune article is accurate and even
toned, unlike the Wall Street Journal editorial Chris
Cannon circulated as a Dear Colleague letter among members
of Congress last March
In the Wall Street Journal editorial, words like "repugnant"
were used to describe some of the brightest lights in
the immigration immigration moderates
Wall SJ sent twise
if they can we can
The exerpted text
+== QUOTE OF THE WEEK ==+
+== EMAIL OF THE WEEK ==+
When I called Cannon's office on Monday and began stating
my objections to Cannon's AgJobs Amensty bill, the staffer
screamed, "My dad's career is on the line and it's
all your fault." She continued "if you don't
like it, vote against him."
She may not know that her father refused an "arbitration"
by independent analysts whether his AgJobs bill fits
the definition of "amnesty." His opponent
Matt Throckmorton was willing, but Cannon refused. The
obvious conclusion is that Cannon knows it's an amnesty
but wants to continue denying it to his constituents.
His fury at having his hypocrisy exposed is apparently
shared by his family and staffer Nathan Rathbun, and
vented on his constituents.
Because the daughter interrupted me prior to hearing
my name and residence as Phoenix, AZ, she had every
reason to believe I was one of her father's constituents.
