Doing the job the MSM Won’t

16 October 2006

I’m off this morning to watch a court appearance by Myon Burrell. He’s the man that is suspected of killing Tyesha Edwards. Yes, that Tyesha Edwards whose mom said Mark Kennedy should be ashamed of himself for questioning Amy Klobuchar’s record as Hennepin County Attorney.
You see Burrell’s conviction was over turned by the MN Supreme [...]

More On Black’s Blatant Lies for Klobuchar

14 October 2006

The Congressional Budget Office report that Black says he uses to try to defend Klobuchar was, of course, cherry picked by the Strib’s Black. He says that Kennedy’s claim that Klobuchar would give social security to illegal immigrants is false. (Source: Black) But in fact it couldn’t be more true.

HEY MEDIA, THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!!

13 October 2006

I will just plain lay it all out there for our “esteemed” members of the media. Amy Klobuchar’s Ashamed ad is not only chalk full of lies, but it could get her fired!
Myon Burrell, the man who was killed Tyesha Edwards but had his conviction overturned by the MN Supreme Court, in part because he [...]

Is the Klobuchar campaign going to answer the legal ethics questions about “Ashamed”?

12 October 2006

It has been over seventy-two hours now since I posted what appear to me to be serious ethical questions about Amy Klobuchar’s “Ashamed” television ad. It has been over forty-eight hours since Hugh Hewitt, on his nationally syndicated radio show, elicited a commitment from Eric Black of the Star Tribune to investigate those ethical [...]

Black on Hugh 2 RE: Ashamed Ad And then some

10 October 2006

Eric Black of the Star Tribune was on with Hugh Hewitt today. One of the things Hugh brought up with Black was the possibility that Amy Klobuchar violated state law or legal ethics with her ‘Ashamed ad’.
Here’s a recap of what KvM has posted on the Ad as a whole:
Regarding the Tyesha Edwards portion: (I’ll [...]

Amy Klobuchar’s “Ashamed” Ad is Unethical

9 October 2006

Andy and others have recounted the misleading or inaccurate aspects of Amy Klobuchar’s “Ashamed” ad. But those pale in comparison to the biggest problem with the advertisement:
The advertisement is a direct violation of the ethical standards Amy Klobuchar swore to uphold when she was admitted to the Minnesota Bar.
As an attorney, I do not [...]

I Object #3, Amy’s Ad May Blow Burrell Retrial

9 October 2006

It seems that Amy Klobuchar’s Ashamed ad that she is using in her US Senate campaign could be tampering with potential jurors in the retrial in of Tyesha Edwards’ “alleged” killer that her own Hennepin County Attorney’s office is prosecuting. You may be aware that Amy Klobuchar is *THE* Hennepin County Attorney who is responsible [...]

I Object! #2

28 September 2006

(Here’s my other post for background. I Object! )
Here’s Amy Klobuchar’s statement following Burrell’s now over turned conviction. Klobuchar’s quote in the story is quite troubling given the fact that the conviction of this man was thrown out by the Minnesota Supreme Court. (emphasis mine)
“A lengthy sentence was warranted in this case,” said Klobuchar.  “Burrell [...]

I Object!

Amy Klobuchar has a new ad out called ‘Ashamed‘. The ad features the family of Tyesha Edwards. She was an 11 year old girl who was tragically shot by a gang’s stray bullet. The ad ends with Edwards’ mother saying, “You should be ashamed Mark Kennedy”. The ad is intended to deflect scrutiny being paid [...]
