Joe Hallett: Other SOBs Make the Comments for Me

Hallett’s “Oh, I’ll Miss Ken So” column is here.

SOB Alliance reax — all are in the “Hear, hear” category:

• Matt at Right Angle — “(He) couldn’t have possibly written his column from today with a straight face.”
• Pain Dealer — “You got your man without a plan Strickland so now you are being gracious, Joe.”
• NixGuy –
It’s bad enough that Joe Hallett ran with a huge hit on Blackwell for the SoS staffer while refusing to lift a finger on any (pick one) of Strickland’s “issues”. And then to run this piece on how it’s just a shame no one knew the “real” Blackwell? Please. Go peddle it somewhere else.Let this be a lesson to GOP candidates everywhere. There is one sure way to get the media to love you … no. Make that two ways.Attack a fellow Republican or lose an election. Or both! Why not! And then watch the fawning begin. The media loves GOP losers.

UPDATE: Matt at Right Angle has more — “Joe’s newfound fondness of Ken Blackwell is beyond insincere. People didn’t see how great Ken Blackwell is because Joe Hallett and the liberal MSM hates him and his principles.” Bingo.

UPDATE 2: Matt also noted layoffs at the Dispatch. Here’s the Dispatch’s own, uh, dispatch on what they’re doing. Note the sugar-coating — “Dispatch ad work goes to outside firm; Move made to improve speed, efficiency.” If it were anyone but themselves, the headline would have been, “90 To Be Let Go; Jobs Outsourced to India.” They’re all in advertising, so for better or worse, Joe Hallet’s job is safe — for now.
