Earlier this week, we talked about how Bobby Casey Junior was going to vote to flush left over blastocysts down the drain rather than let scientists use them to see if they can't come up with a cure for Alzheimer's, or spinal cord injury, or any other similarly frivolous research projects just itchin' to get their hands on federal funds to help mankind.
Junior, being the good roman catholic tool that he is, decided that god wanted the throw-aways to stay in the toilet and out of our research labs. In the course of it, he got asupporter reporter to write a puff piece about how Junior had struggled, oh so hard, and spent many months in many meetings with those on both sides of the issue before making up his mind.
Admittedly, we questioned that, since Junior made it clear in the primaries that he can't think on his own (gawd, how awful was he in the debates?) and that he was going to let his knee-jerk theology do his thinking for him. Nevertheless, he said he had all these months of all these meetings, and Bobby Junior is a feckin US Senator and he wouldn't just make that stuff up. So we did what anyone else would have (well, anyone except a certain AP reporter who had been giving Junior the journalistic equivalent of head since who knows when), we asked him -- who did you meet with and when.
We asked Larry Smar, Casey's spokesmouth, via email,twice THREE times {updated 4/18/07}.
But, just to cover the bases, we also asked his "scheduler", Sara Mabry, alsotwice THREE times {updated 4/18/07}.
Now, we aren't entirely certain, but we are pretty sure that they, or at least someone who reads their emails, received these requests for information. This because, soon after they were sent, someone using the official US Senate ISP visited our blog here. Actually, it seems like there were multiple someones, as we receivedseven EIGHT NINE TWELVE {updated 4/16 4/17 4/25} separate visits from someone using the Senate network in the several days after the emails were sent (compared to, about, none in the month before).
Yet, Junior has not released the information on who all those meetings that he conducted were with. And, it makes us wonder, is it because he just made that part up?
We're beginning to think so.
