Turning Tables Quote of the Day

"Mr. [Mitch] McConnell has masterfully diverted public attention from the offensive content of the tape — which is the real story here — to his outrage over how it was obtained...Mr. McConnell, 71, and leader of the Senate Republicans, is seeking his sixth term in Congress in 2014. He has long ceased to serve the state, instead serving the corporate interests he counts on for contributions and leading obstruction that continues to plague Congress. He needs a credible opponent and a serious effort by people ready to advance the interests of Kentucky and its citizens." -- Editorial in the Louisville, KY Courier-Journal, noting Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell's assumption of the "victim" role in the outrageous taped comments he and his advisors made about actress and former potential opponent Ashley Judd.  Our failed political media took Missy's bait and made the story about how the taping was accomplished, rather than the despicable strategies that the McConnell campaign were ready to use against Judd.
