Detroit Schools On the Verge of Rennaissance?

Those Crazy Republicans

Posted by daddontsk8 on Tuesday, July 21, 2009 9:30:54 AM
The Washington Post has a fine piece of journalism in their paper this morning.  Columnist Dana Milbank took up space in the paper to report on the fact that the Republican National Committee developed a communication strategy and then ACTED on it.

Mr. Milbank went through an RNC strategy memo and demonstrated how RNC Chairman Michael Steele delivered a speech using the language recommended by that strategy memo. 

It's crazy...having a plan and sticking to it. Crazy!
