We Were Totally On A Break When That Happened

By Kleinheider Posted on October 3, 2008 at 5:51 pm

State Senate Democratic Caucus Political Director Mark Brown didn’t think GOP Senate candidate Mike Faulk’s counterattack on him for disclosing opposition research by a Texas firm to Kingsport Times News Reporter Hank Hayes was entirely appropriate.

Brown resents the implication that his informative political work was done on the state’s dime. He is on leave, you see, from the Caucus in order to provide reporters with information about a lawyers’ former clientele.

“Sounds like Mike Faulk desperately wants to change the subject. Absolutely nothing was done on state time. I am presently on leave from the state, working on Democratic Senate campaigns. Just as, for example, Republican staffer Rick Nicholson is on leave working for the campaign of Rosalind Kurita.”

The full piece of opp research can be found here. For more information about the crew that culled the salacious info on Faulk, go here.

    Hey, I’ll get that new masthead for you this weekend “Hobbs Politics”. This page gets more pathetic everyday.

    No articles about Republicans who sling mud. Just Democrats. Maybe you’ll do us the favor of not acting like you work for a “news outlet” and just go ahead and paste the elephant up there on top of the page.

    Trial lawyers have to do a certain number of pro bono cases, as required by the state in which they are practicing. The state my brother is in piles on the pro bono cases, and the lawyers have to take them even if the cases make them want to gag and even if the extra work interferes with their making an actual living.

    God forbid poor people should have legal representation, eh Donna? Why don’t we just shoot the poor so we don’t have to look at them?

    What a crock.

    Goodness me, now I ain’t a rocket science kind of person, but it looks like some of those fine Republican people show up too!

    I didn’t resent the public defender my sister’s murderer had. But I was glad Torry Johnson and Cheryl Balckburn were the prosecutors. Because the guy’s in prison where you won’t have to worry about him.

    Many people are under the impression that all trial lawyers are rich. They aren’t. Not by a long shot. They have to make a living, and because they have a law degree, they are required by the state to do work to which they must divert time, energy, and resources, without compensation.

    If Faulk had a D behind him name, Donna Locke would be calling him an un-anerican scumbag, probably an atheist, too. What a load of bullshit.

    Well, that shows what you know, Woodman: not much on this subject.
