As he stares down defeat in tomorrow’s Kentucky Senate GOP primary, Kentucky Secretary of State Trey Grayson accuses FOX News of favoring the anti-war candidate, ophthamologist Rand Paul. He tells the Washington Post:
“I’ve been on Fox News once, on a live feed on one of the shows, and I was told I was to expect a certain line of questioning, and I was given a different line of questioning,” Grayson said. Referring to Rand Paul, Grayson said, “He’s on all of the time.”
“His dad had these phenomenal contacts, so … he’s on Fox News every couple of weeks with softballs,” said Grayson. Imitating an anchor’s voice, Grayson said the questions are softballs such as, “Rand, tell us about health care, you’re a doctor. Rand, tell us about the tea party.”
The level of whining is more convincing than the polls showing Grayson behind by a double-digit margin. In any other year, I think Grayson would have won. But he never took Paul seriously enough. And it’s 2010.
At least give him credit for not threatening to switch parties.
