Chill out? I’d re-direct that advice to you. I made a simple comment about how I viewed that rumor. What, in your view, would been an acceptable comment for me to make?

These are just rumors and they aren’t even salacious or mean-spirited.

Did I say they were?

I didn't say they weren't doing their jobs, only that, if they worked for me and it took two days to respond to a media inquiry, they would have some explaining to do. If a reporter ever called me about a client and I didn't get back to them in two days, and my client found out. Trouble. It should make no difference whether we're a lefty blog or a rightly blog. Senator Ackerman has no trouble getting the word out to Red County in a timely manner. D’acon — Thanks for the note.

You point to more than a two day elapse before getting back to a writer about a news story as evidence of staff not doing their jobs. You do realize this is a blog right? And you do realize this is a Democratic blog nonetheless right? Can you imagine how much time Van Tran's office would have to spend shooting down rumors perpetrated by Art Pedroza at the OJ? The residents of the 68th would be ill served by an Assembly staff that wouldn't get any work done. I am by no means comparing you two by the way. You, at least, took the time to do your due diligence and put in a call to the Senator's office. Art would have never done that in a million years.

If I had an account rep wait two days to return a call, I'd fire them. So I think I can speak with some measure of expertise, not having an answer after two days of calls is NOT doling their jobs; unless there's a difference between public sector PR and private sector PR I am not aware of.
