When the White House wants your opinion, they'll give it to you
The White House is letting it be known to Democrat political strategists and consultants that if they ever want to work in Washington again they'd better not be seen anywhere near a FoxNews Channel reporter or camera, so says Tom Elia.
One Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.Hope and Change!
The message was, "We better not see you on again,'' said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that "clients might stop using you if you continue.'
Oh, BTW, for next year's mid-term elections, "Hope and Change" is out. "Wing and a Prayer" is in.
Update: Tom Elia's source was a piece in the Chicago Tribune. But the White House is saying that the story is false.
