Pigs That Don’t Fly Straight

Andy Sher shares this report on the fallout which followed the release of a letter from the TNGOP’s Chairwoman to Governor Phil Bredesen regarding her service on Tennessee’s Human Rights Commission.

The TNGOP maintains that the release was a part of a coordinated smear effort. At issue is the inference by Post Politics that the letter could be seen as an effort by Smith to remain on the Human Rights Board:

In an interview Monday, Mrs. Smith and her communications director, Mr. Hobbs, said part of her charge about a “smear” was based on the suggestion she was trying to bargain for reappointment.

“You know what?” Mrs. Smith said. “I’m not going to get in the mud with the pigs because the pigs will enjoy it and I’ll get muddy, too.”
