My Undisclosed Arrest Is the Other Guy’s Fault (BONUS: WaPo Cheers the Economy!)
Zheesh (HT Hot Air, which notes that Maryland gubernatorial candidate Martin O’Malley “could be disbarred if he did not disclose the charge of driving under the influence, of which he was found not guilty, to the Maryland Bar Association”).
No wonder the Washington Post (reach for the smelling salts) actually endorsed an incumbent Republican Governor.
While they were doing the Ehrlich endorsement, the Post let its slip show:
No doubt Mr. Ehrlich has had the good fortune to govern during good times. Having inherited a crushing deficit upon taking office in 2003, he benefited over the next three years from a muscular national economy that lifted Maryland, as it did most states, and pumped up the public coffers in Annapolis.
Who knew we had a “muscular national economy”? (/sarcasm)
Bizzy –
I saw a note about the WaPo endorsement of Ehrlich today on NRO (The Corner? Sixers? We all know what’s *really* wrong with NRO is the fact that they don’t have enough blogs…) probably by K Lopez.
The point of the post was that Ehrlich was safely behind, and so could be endorsed. Steele was too close, and so couldn’t be endorsed. This way, the WaPo gets to claim some objectivity (look, we endorsed a Republican!).
