The Republic finally caught up with New District 20 Chair Jeni White last week.
That may not seem like a big deal, but since Ms. White graduated from the Tom Morrissey/Rob Haney school of press relations, actually getting her on the record is quite an accomplishment.
It's easy for "conservatives" to bitch about media bias, but it's even easier for the media to be biased when you adopt a "The Press is the Enemy and Should be Avoided at all Costs" mentality. (See Miller, Sandra - "I do not speak with The Arizona Republic! CLICK.")
But what did Jeni-with-an-i have to say when the press finally tracked her down?
Of course, there was the obligatory sop to Mark "Pants on the Ground" Spinks, her political mentor/puppetmaster, and the dreamiest pantless ex-congressional candidate this side of Mark Foley.
But if you can wade through the spin and the Spinks hagiography, you'll see a few interesting observations.

1) She's been involved in politics for less than a year.
2) She was the only candidate for the chairman job.
3) Mark Spinks is totally awesome and dreamy, and in spite of holding no position in the district must be mentioned in an attempt to redeem his public image.
4) This is a "Building Year".
Well, Chairman White, here's a news flash: It wouldn't be a "building year" if you and your allies hadn't burnt the organization to the ground in your attempt to gain power.
Does anyone really believe that in a functioning Party a self-acknowleged political novice would smoothly sail to the chairman's post without any opposition?
No. The fact that there was only one candidate is very telling. But's it's not telling the story that Ms. White thinks it is.

From someone who gets on his knees in front of his 'worshipfulness' Juan McCain, this is absolutely pathetic. Oh yes, Juan's bosom buddy the 'light in the loafers' Lindsey Grahamnesty, must love your picture. Did he ask the name of the guy whose face you covered up?
The fact that there is no responses, here show just how pathetic you really are!
