Elected Officials in Desperate Need of Communications Training

by Dan Hutson on July 28, 2009

Setting aside for a moment the absurdity of the ongoing “birther” controversy that seems to hold Lou Dobbs, FOX News and the Republican Party in its hypnotic sway, don’t congresspeople have, like, whole departments of communications pros trained to help them avoid situations like this?

If you’re going to be a party to the charade, at least be prepared for the inevitable media ambush designed to make you look (rightfully) silly. Get your talking points straight. Don’t get caught on tape running away. And try not to use phrases like “scum of the earth” when addressing a reporter, no matter how much you hate his lyin’ liberal guts.
