I Don’t Hate America!

Hat tip to Bluestem Prairie.

Previously Missing in Action Minnesota second district Rep. John Kline (R-Some non-disclosed shelter) will debate first district DFLer Tim Walz about the future of America’s presence in Iraq tomorrow night on Almanac. Almanac airs locally on TPT 2 (KTCA) at 7:00 p.m. with replays on TPT2 and can also be viewed online at www.tpt.org/almanac.

Kline was very conspicuously absent during the August congressional recess from town hall meetings or forums and performed virtually no other constituent outreach efforts with the exception of a “telephone town hall meeting,” the legitimacy of which was to say the least, questionable. Kline continues to have unwavering support for President Bush’s Iraq war policy with little explanation to his constituents. Meanwhile, virtually ever other member of Minnesota’s congressional delegation did constituent outreach work within his or her district, most notably Walz’ work on flood relief efforts in southeastern Minnesota.

As I’ve said before, I’m quite an Almanac fan, especially of David Gillette’s visual essays.

Jason and I will be playing softball tomorrow night (go Diamond Runners in the Prior Lake Co-Rec league!) but I will be sure to have my thoughts after viewing a recap.
