Joe is about to do Ryan's dishwashing scam!

This ought to be interesting...I wonder how they'll spin it as a positive.

1. He still hasn't said a word about voter suppression

and voter intimidation billboards paid for by Rmoney's Clear Channel.
Everyone else is covering Lyan Ryan's 'pot-gate' so he's way late.
Fuck that ReTHUG hack.

2. They made a joke about it. Screw them.

3. Just made it a joke, excuse to show Kerry and Dukakis

They DID use the WaPo article, and talked briefly about how the soup kitchen was upset, and that Ryan's people got a worker to open the locked door for them. But basically, they used it as a set up to show goofy pics of photo-ops gone wrong -- Kerry in a clean suit at the Space Station, Dukakis on his tank ride.

The big difference, of course, is that those may have been photo ops, they weren't outright LIES. Kerry never claimed to be an astronaut, he was merely checking out the ISS; Dukakis never claimed he was driving a tank, a fighting a war, he was just there checking out military equipment. OTOH, Ryan LIED about "helping out" at a soup kitchen...but far be it from the media to point that out.

4. If We Make This Election To Be About Ryan Washing Clean Pots And Pans Then....

we're really in trouble. There are so many more important issues to focus on.
