Sharron Angle irate, bars TV stations from her election party: reporters asked her questions

Angle. Irked.


The Sharron Angle campaign has banned a local television station from the Republican Party's election party Tuesday and might ban another, saying reporters from the stations "showed up unannounced" and "ambushed" the Republican U.S. Senate candidate at McCarran International Airport on Friday, according to a campaign spokeswoman.

KLAS-TV Channel 8 will not be allowed into the event at The Venetian, spokeswoman Ciara Matthews said. A broadcast from KSNV Channel 3 is being reviewed.

Matthews complained that the reporters, Denise Spidle of Channel 3 and Channel 8's Nathan Baca, "literally ambushed her getting off an airplane."

They were wrong to approach Angle that way, Matthews said.

"We can't stop them from going there, but the responsible thing to do is to inform the campaign when you're looking to cover the candidate," she said. "They failed to do that. They behaved as if they were paparazzi ... She is not a celebrity who is covered by paparazzi. She is a candidate for political office. The campaign reserves the right to manage the campaign in a way we deem appropriate."

10. Harry Reid has the dryest powder in the industry
You know, Harry, modern powder works even when it's somewhat damp, as any cannon cocker can tell you.
