Has anyone ever talked to the 'spitter'?
Although "Spittlegate" has largely passed from the national news, it still has resonance in the Kansas City congressional district of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, the "spittee" at the center of the Capitol Hill protest on March 20. Cleaver has milked the issue locally for a month, and his minions have been busily spreading the word that Cleaver's Republican opponent, Jacob Turk, is a friend of the Tea Party and thus a barely closeted Ku Kluxer. I wish I were exaggerating.
To put the issue to rest I would love to speak in all confidence to the stocky middle-aged man in black shirt and white hat clearly seen shouting at Cleaver in this video.
If anyone knows this man, please send him to my website, cashill.com and ask him to "contact Jack." I have the opportunity to take one good last whack at the McClatchy smear machine's Kansas City cell, and I would like to come well armed. Thanks!
