Dog bites man.

I don’t know if I should praise Prince William Democrats or criticize the Potomac News for this gem from today’s paper:

The Prince William County Democratic Committee has issued a report card that flunked all of the incumbents in the Virginia House of Delegates.

[...]

The committee recommended that the voters expel the incumbents and elect Democrats Hilda M. Barg, who is running against Frederick; Bruce Roemmelt, who is trying to oust Marshall; and Earnie Porta, who is after McQuigg’s job.

This is news? Was it possible that the Prince William County Democrats might have come to some alternate conclusion? Perhaps a B- or a C+ for a couple of their representatives?

Good on the Dems for a successful bit of theater. But I don’t know what the Potomac News is thinking.

Yeah, Waldo. It’s really too bad that they were stealing a page out of the PW Young Republicans’ efforts at a debate with David Brickley oh, say, 12 years ago. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

‘Course, we were supporting a Republican (Clancy McQuigg, if I recall correctly; Michele’s ex). And as I recall, we were honest enough to give him a (low) passing grade on elected School Boards.
