PIM: “THE MYSTERY IS WHY THE ST. CLOUD TIMES DOESN’T JUST SAY, WE GOOFED”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | August 10, 2007
"Minnesota Democrats Exposed's Michael Brodkorb is having quite the conversation with the St. Cloud Times. In a story about the House working on federal aid for the bridge disaster, St. Cloud Times reporter Pamela Brogan wrote, 'Earlier in the day, [U.S. GOP Rep. Michele] Bachmann and Republican [U.S.] Rep. John Kline had voted to adjourn the House before it approved the federal aid.' That's true, but so did the Minnesota Democratic members of the Minnesota delegation and the vote was procedural–the House was reconvening the next morning. Contextually, in the story, the statement is outrageous. The mystery is why the St. Cloud Times doesn't just say, we goofed." Source: Politics In Minnesota Weekly Report, August 10, 2007

Michael,
I don’t pay to read PIM.
The PIM author of this statement is?
p.s. You forgot to tell her to put the word “final” before approval.

PIM is akin to the November Wheat Report on AM radio, it’s far past it’s prime.

Don’t insult the Good Neighbor by comparing it’s product to PIM.

“PIM is akin to the November Wheat Report on AM radio, it’s far past it’s prime.”
Right. MDE has become the hub of political information for Minnesota.
Mike’s initial spanking of the SCT must have hurt a lot more than the follow up from PIM.
Good work, as usual Mike.

Snarky baby boys.
Take MDE and Michael out of this.
To the commenters:
Who is paying you to think political thoughts?
Exactly. That’s what I thought.
You detract from MB’s posting. He’s on to something that PIM was only trying to draw attention to….beyond snarky comments on MDE and to the political world at large.
In your dreams, snarky boys.

So will the Times report everytime someone votes to adjourn for the day now?

Michael, is this the context you are looking for?
Statement by Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., prior to the vote to suspend the rules and allow discussion on the bridge bill, H Res. 600
“I do wish to put my colleagues on notice that, following the conclusion of debate on this rule, I intend to offer an amendment to the rule. My amendment will permit the House to consider emergency legislation today appropriating $250 million to begin the reconstruction of the I-35 bridge, which collapsed this week in Minnesota. We have properly given our condolences and continue those to those who have lost loved ones and those who are awaiting word regarding those who are still missing and those who have been injured. All of us grieve with all of them.”
“Without this amendment and this rule, this legislation will not be permitted to proceed; and these emergency funds would be delayed. Realize a vote against this rule and my amendment to the rule will be a vote against providing this emergency assistance to the people of Minnesota, specifically Minneapolis, Minnesota.”
Why did Ramstad vote yes on this motion?

The reason why the St. Cloud Times won’t admit they made a mistake is because the state’s major newspapers (excluding the Star Tribune which has always been a tool of the left): Mankato Free Press, Rochester Post Bulletin and the St. Cloud Times are all making a sharp lurch to the left. If you talk to people in those communities they don’t even recognize their papers anymore.
