Sneaky, Dishonest...and Lowell (Updated)

Earlier today, WaPo columnist Marc Fisher posted a story about Virginia's new fundraising...sorry...abusive driver fees. Fisher took AG Bob McDonnell to task for a bit of self-dealing. But the ever-vigilant McDonnel staff caught Fisher's error and he re-wrote the post to reflect reality...that McDonnell doesn't have any personal, financial interest in the collection of the abusive driver fees.

Needless to say, the original Fisher column gave Lowell at Raising Kaine a juicy opportunity to bash McDonnell. And, I'm sure, laughed at his own jokes throughout the process.

Now that Fisher has corrected his post (and still kept his snark intact), will Lowell do likewise? Or would that just muddle the narrative?

And the comments to Fisher's post, by the way, are worth reading. Seems the revolt against higher ticket fees may not be as wide or deep as the digital crowd thinks it is (or ought to be).

Update...

Lowell has since amended his post to reflect the change in Fisher's article. While this is refreshing to see, the rest of the post -- including the delightfully misleading headline, remain intact.

Lowell?

Isn't he that paid cheerleader for the Democratic Party? I don't think I'd be holding my breath waiting for a correction.

any questions

Seriously,
Does anyone have any doubts that the VA oddsmaker... is nothing more than another left wing attempt at trying to look unbiased?

How about those new ethics bloggers? Seems only the Right wing guys are unethical huh?

Virginia Oddsmaker...

Strange -- VA Oddsmaker seems to speak very highly of you for some reason, Chris....

How do we know VA Oddsmaker isn't you, considering (a) your past history with anonymous blogs, (b) the fact they slant every race to the right, and (c) your constant and devoted promotiong of said blog?

As far as the ethics bloggers go, I've seen two. St. Lo Impure runs one, the other (God Save Virginia) is about as unbiased as you can make it.

So pray tell, how do we know you're not one of the VOM bloggers?

See this?

So not only do they get it wrong, Lowell has to get someone else to defend him?

Pathetic.
