As a Tyler Allen supporter, I can’t let this (one day surely-famous thread) end in despair.

Yes, Tyler Allen is a very smart guy and that’s kinda rare in politics, but it DOES NOT make him unelectable in Louisville, KY.

Fresh precedent-the same was said about Yarmuth in the Spring of 2006, now…Congressman Yarmuth.

It is, indeed, nigh impossible for him to be elected.

Gracious me, what a snit fit. My position remains the same: Tyler Allen is a very smart guy and, hence, unlikely to be elected to any kind of political position in Kentucky for just that reason. On the other hand, he is also very persistent and replaces the 8664 sign in his yard every time it gets all mangled up and whizzed on by the neighborhood dogs (including mine). So that counts for something, I suppose, though Gatewood G. likely would say “not much.”
Nonetheless, I’ll support him.

Yup, that’s me. Negative for engaging a bitter reporter who has spent the past few months berating me via email because I criticized the shitty job he did covering a press conference.

Easy boys- we get it. Everyone back to their corners.

I am confused. A Courier-Journal reporter has chosen to defend his newspapers coverage of several mayoral campaigns, and in his defense, admints that the C-J did not bother to cover the announcement press conferences of said mayoral candidates?

Announcement press conferences are extremely newsworthy, as the new candidate most often engages in a discussion of issues and their views on those particular issues, outlines priorities and details their vision for the particular office they seek. Plus sometimes, if they bother to show up, the media gets to ask them questions and stuff!

Glad the C-J did not bother to cover any of that inconsequential nonsense! And glad that a C-J reporter thinks that policy is worth defending in numerous blog posts. This would be the part where I should insert some snarky comment concerning the death of mainstream media, but at this point it would simply be cliche’, yes?

Yeah, I totally looked stupid after Tony Hyatt melted down because I suggested he was underpaid. For those who don't recall, click here and here for the necessary Tony Hyatt flashback.

Yes, Jake, your conduct during the exchange with Tony H. was equally horrific as the things you’ve written above. How embarrasing for you.

Best of luck,
