BREAKING NEWS: KENNEDY CAMPAIGN TO HAVE PRESS CONFERENCE ABOUT SENIOR KLOBUCHAR STAFFER FIRED FOR VIEWING LEAKED KENNEDY AD #4
By Michael B. Brodkorb | September 20, 2006
Why the hell did Klobuchar's campaign wait 5 days to tell Kennedy's campaign this activity?
"On Saturday, September 16, 2006, our campaign was contacted by a local blogger. He called Tara McGuinness, Communications Director of our campaign, and then sent her a link to what appeared to be an unreleased advertisement of the Kennedy campaign. Neither Amy Klobuchar nor I have personally seen this advertisement and no campaign strategy or decisions will be changed because of it.
"The blogger indicated to Ms. McGuinness that he had gained access to the advertisement by use of passwords. Exercising poor judgment, Ms. McGuinness opened the link, watched the advertisement and asked others on our campaign to watch it." Source: Statement of Ben Goldfarb, Klobuchar for Minnesota Campaign Manager
In my opinion, Klobuchar's campaign wanted to wait until after last evening's debate to break the news. Also, Klobuchar traveled to D.C. today for a fundraiser and her campaign wanted her out of town.
Amy Klobuchar made this stupid comment in a released statement:
"Some people may believe that this happens on campaigns all the time, but it is not acceptable on our campaign." Source: Statement of Amy Klobuchar
No Amy, this stuff doesn't happen all the time on campaigns. You should be embarrassed.

She is lookin’ like a real Gamey Amy right about now.
Her attempts to be above reproach at this time are insulting.
Real Gamey gal!

Interestingly enough, this does happen on campaigns, quite often. I understand that working for Mark Kennedy is your first campaign, so I’ll let you slide on this one.

No need to swear in your posts. It shows lack of education.

Hey MDE:
Where did my comment go. And when I try to repost it, I get a duplicate comment error?

You got us. Amy Klobuchar went above and beyond in firing a campaign staffer for looking at something Kennedy people had leaked to her.
Damn. This smear job making her look all ethical and trustworthy is really going to hurt her.
Oh, wait. She isn’t a republican. Ethics are not something democrats fear.

Ethics are not something democrats fear.
That made me smile.

If you snoop and find something and you are a blogger you would put your snooped material on your blog to announce it to the world….not shop it.
WHY was he snooping?
Who paid him to snoop?
Has he snooped before?
Has he snooped before for Amy?
I do not like that they held this at Camp Snoopy and Gamey Amy decided when the information would be leaked…at her convenirnce. Looks like she has more to jide and is not an onnocent in all of this.
If it takes FIVE days for the cat to come out of the sandbox…there’s been some other burying going on there.
She is beyond the statute of limitations for honesty in her reporting on this one!
If you can get your sry cleaning done in one day…why can’t we get honesty from Amy in that same timely manner?
She is so devicice.

Hey Diane-
I think the Muslims put him up to it.
September 21st, 2006 at 10:09 AM
Roving:
I doubt the Muslims had a thing to do with this.
However the condyct of Ms. Klobuchar is severely in question here.
1 Why did she wait to tell Mr. Kennedy of a weakness in theat system? She would be screaming from the rooftops if the tables were turned here.
2 Did she tell Mr. Kennedy who the blogger was when she told him of the leak?
3 How, in good conscience could she go through Clintons visit and the debate with Mr. Kennedy and NOT tell him that his private information with a private company was at RISK?
Shje is a piece of work tat slimey gal is!
This is not the kind of conduct that we should accept from her at all!
And we do not have specific info anout which other staffers were gaining access to other information that is private about Mr. Kennedy as well.
A can of worms just now opening I think.
If she was so adamant that this is not the kind of thing that is acceptable in HERE CAMPIGN…then why did it take her FIVE DAYS to discover that POLICY for her staff?
She is exposed for the liar that she is!
She is not honorable with Mr. Kennedy and I hope thhat he does not stand for this for one second.
She knew
she withheld, willingly
she is at fault!
Feet to the fire Ms. Klobuchar!!!
If they access Howell’s computers and find that Noah has accessed them before….then Ms. Gamey Amy has a lot of explaining to do to everyone!!!
And Noah needs to prepare to nake restitution to the Kennedy camp for this destruction. Betcha Amy helps him pay his way out of this!!!!
Remember she is a lawyer. A county attorney!
She knows better.
This is abuse and disregard of Mr. Kennedy’s rights by a county attorney!!!!! And by a competitor.
She should have filed this instantly as a COUNTY ATTORNAY!
Did CLinton give her advice on how to handle this when he was in town?
‘I don’t recall” works well I am sure he could be heard to say!
Amy needs to show her face on this one and get her photo with her quote in the paper for her voters to see!!!!!! ASAP!

She is so devicice

She’s also perfectly cromulent.
