SENATOR BASHES OBAMA, BALKS AT MAJOR PRESS COVERAGE

The liberal blogosphere was abuzz today after Not Very Bright unleashed a story that took hold with other local blogs and trickled all the way up to MSNBC.

In the above video from Elonkey, host David Schuster took South Carolina Sen. Kevin Bryant to task for not defending a post made on his blog last week — which was taken down amidst today’s hubbub — with a controversial image comparing Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama to terrorist Osama bin Laden.

In the post, which was fed to the national media through Wonkette, Bryant embedded a photo of a t-shirt with pictures of Obama and Osama that read “the only difference between Obama and Osama is just a little B.S.” The letters “B” in Obama and “S” in Osama were both highlighted.

When MSNBC “reached out” to Bryant, he declined to be interviewed. Instead, he offered a cookie-cutter statement that helped him in absolutely no way.

Now, I know Bryant isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed, but when a national cable news network asks you to be on television, you do it. I don’t care what it’s for, you always say “yes.”

Some voters in Anderson County can’t even remember what kind of paint chips they ate for breakfast, much less the reason behind all this. In a week, all they’ll know is that their senator was on the talking picture box.

Plus, what kind of person lets that little weasel Shuster bully them around? Seriously… man-up.
