Cardinal Responds

In a Letter to the Editor in the Pioneer Press, Bob Cardinal responds to the media coverage resulting from his forwarding pictures of naked women and anti-Muslim text to a Pioneer Press reporter. Perhaps he was concerned that people would forget the incident?

His summary paragraph:
Facts: This email was passed on to me. I passed it on to Sarah Horner. Reporter shared email with fellow reporter and the editor and did not delete. Bob Cardinal is defamed by St. Paul Pioneer Press. Additional result: An inhumane circus-media-debasement of our culture. The St. Paul Pioneer Press should never have printed this article. Two wrongs do not make a right.
I guess "blame the media" never goes out of style for some politicians.

Fox 9 On the Story

I came across this embedded video story on a website called "Islamaphobia Today."

Don't miss the reporters' banter afterward, as they boggle over just what the heck Cardinal was trying to say. ("Patent on Fraud"? Did he really say he has a "patent on fraud"?)

Good Grief

If you believe him, Bob Cardinal thinks the appropriate way to express his shock at an offensive sexist, anti-Muslim e-mail with attached pictures of naked women, is to forward it without comment to everyone in his address book -- including Pioneer Press reporter Sarah Horner.

It would seem that the judgment of "negligent and ill-advised" isn't limited to Mr. Cardinal's campaign practices...

Fischer Endorsed by DFL for House District 43A

Just a quick note after the Senate District 43 convention -- after seven ballots, Peter Fischer received the necessary 60% vote in order to win the DFL endorsement.

Article on Legislation & Maplewood

I see the Pioneer Press has a story about Maplewood and the trash-related bills in the legislature.

Along the way, it mentions that the city got its bids for the trash carts being purchased, and the price has come in much lower than what the naysayers were predicting.
