The level of delusions of political novices never fails to astonish me. DISCLOSE EVERYTHING! Just do it because when you do run, and you don’t, this gets written about you in the Capitol Fax:
THE SMELL OF DEATH
HE’S COME UNDONE A few years ago, Jack Ryan had a long talk with
Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka. Ryan was thinking about running against Sen. Dick Durbin at the time, and so he sought Topinka’s advice. Word is that Ryan spent most of the meeting asking vague questions about what sort of background search Durbin might run, and what Durbin might use against him. He was told to expect the worst if he had anything in his past that might be embarrassing. In other words, Ryan knew this would be a problem years ago, even though he now claims that he never believed that his sealed records would ever be made public.
There’s dumber and dumbest and Jack! is apparently both. Going beyond anything about the veracity of the claims or whether they should be damaging, allowing the press to disclose is stupid.
