Yes. It can.
Payback ..."Payback can be a bitch."<br /><br />Yes. It can.<br /><br />Payback is why we have a Democratic majority in the U.S. House and Senate.<br /><br />Payback is why we have a Democratic President.<br /><br />Wayne Ross was the wrong man to be AK A.G.<br /><br /><br />"some (not all) of the opposition went outside the lines of fair play."<br /><br />Would you care to elaborate?<br /><br />I only saw people expressing their dismay that a man with Ross's negative character was even being considered.<br /><br />Perhaps you see nothing wrong with having a narrow-minded bigot as Attorney General.

All we did was brought to light all the reasons (of his own making I might add) he was unsuitable. We vetted him and he failed the process. The vetting thing, it's for a purpose.<br /><br />The pure magic of it all was that he proved us right.

I didn't remove it.<br /><br />Regarding your estimates, my information seems to have been at least as good as yours. And so was Dennis Zaki's and Shannyn Moore's. We certainly were told that nothing was settled, but from late Saturday, the message was quite clear from about four or more sources - <B>W.A.R. did not have 31.</B>Just google Alaska Dispatch Wayne Anthony Ross. The op-ed you wrote did not appear when I googled that set of words.Philip Mungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601488767955084836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-5197329546333572192009-04-18T14:17:00.000-08:002009-04-18T14:17:00.000-08:00Phil,

I tried to comment this morn on your post on the five things you learned from the W.A.R. battle, signed up and posted a longish comment and then poof it disappeared into the intertubes. A friend had sent me the link to that earlier today, thought I'd be interested.<br /><br />Anyway, the link to the Dispatch article on Ross you mentioned came up no good. I wrote an op-ed on Ross that was published in the Dispatch, not sure if that is the one you are referring to. I'm new at this whole blogging scene and I gather you were intimating the Dispatch didn't do enough to cover Ross (?). <br /><br />A day and a half prior to Ross' confirmation hearing, word I got out of Juneau was that he would narrowly be confirmed. It wasn't until he made those comments to a couple of reporters, and the subsequent (untrue) letter of denial that he had never intimated the legislature shouldn't concern it self with legal or illegal...that the tide really shifted. The point is that no one I know really believed Ross would not be confirmed, no one could have reliably predicted that. <br /><br />Before I offer more comments I want to see if this gets posted. Certainly appreciate your reasoned writing here, first I've seen it.<br />Allbest,<br />Mark RichardsMark Richardsnoreply@blogger.com
