A reader of my blog, Georgia Politics Unfiltered, passed along an editorial that appeared in the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News November 28th criticizing Sarah Palin for her planned campaign appearances with Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss Monday.
The column, penned by Anchorage Daily News editorial page editor Matt Zencey, begins by giving readers a brief lesson on how Chambliss was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2002.
Chambliss was elected to the Senate in 2002 by running one of the most reprehensible campaigns of modern times.
In the best Karl Rove fashion, Chambliss the draft-evader attacked Cleland the war hero for being soft on terrorism. Distorting Cleland’s votes about workplace rules for the new Homeland Security Department employees, Chambliss portrayed him as a tool of terrorists like Osama bin Laden.
