So, how do I nominate these Great American Patriots for the Medal of Freedom?

See, this is the Democratic Parties weakness. They run from stuff like this and make apologies, when they should be doing what the GOP does----Say nothing. Let the sycophants in the press push it for all it's worth, then say; "We didn't tell them to do that, they acted on their own. If people want to believe it, oh well. We can't tell people what to believe."

"Kentucky law says it is a felony “to overhear, record amplify or transmit any part of a wire or oral communication of others without the consent of at least one party thereto by means of any electric, mechanical or other device."
But if the conversation was audible from a hallway, it's disputable whether recording qualifies as eavesdropping."

I told you the Turtledawg was an idjit...

Well Bob, I guess this wasn't just a conversation that was audible from the hallway

From the Salon link in this pile o'steaming crap from the Weekly standard.

"On the other line was the source who first let me know about the HQ opening. He told me I had missed the launch, pronouncing the donuts cheap and stale and the coffee cold, but the meeting was still going. And he told me the location of the headquarters: the second floor of a building named Watterson Towers.
We headed over.
The front door to the office building was unlocked, and there was no one behind the reception desk. Walking down the hall of the second floor, I recognized McConnell’s voice. He was talking about Sen. Rand Paul’s strategic use of the Tea Party in procuring his 2010 election.
The voices were coming from the other side of a nearby door, which had a window. I pulled out my Flip camera and started to record." Salon


You need to read more than just an opinion headline and subsequent bullcrap interpretation of events shoveled your way from your favorite wingnut publication, JB. Nothing has changed in how this guy recorded that conversation other than the full weight of Turtle McConnell's office has been brought to bear on this poor guy who was doing what he saw as right. McConnell is probably going to retain his seat through dirty dog tactics such as the smear campaign he utilized against Judd. What's really sad is that so many people on the right have no compunction at all about using lies and innuendo to achieve their aims. One day Kentuckians will see through this slimey bastard's ways and toss him out on his ear. That is if the teabaggers don't primary him first.

It's amazing that anyone can understand what the mushmouth turtle says anyway.

What does it mean to "primary"? I just started hearing it about a week ago. I think I heard Jon Stewart talk about "primarying" becoming a verb and I didn't get it.

Yes, I am serious. I'm not a pro at campaign strategy.

How is losing in the primary elections a GOP strategy? I'm still confused.
