The pro-DeLay forces are diong their best to slime Chris Bell for his ethics complaint against their idol. So far, Reps. John Culberson and John Carter have stepped up to hurl mud at Bell, and each of them has done so without attempting to make any substantive rebuttals of any part of Bell's charges. It'd be a very good idea if the Kos community kept an eye on this and maybe returned a little fire, lest the perception shift from "serious allegations" to "mere partisan squabbling".
Here's what you've been missing:
An MP3 of Chris Bell on Houston Pacifica radio station KPFT. Culberson calls in about 29 minutes into the show to make his attack.
Greg Wythe and Rob Humenik discuss Culberson's attacks.
An op-ed by John Carter in the Austin American-Statesman. Rebutted by Greg and me.
Letters to the Statesman editor can be submitted here.
Keep an eye on this, it's just going to get worse.
