Hello, Kettle? May I Introduce You to Pot?

Mike Ferguson, no stranger to hypocrisy or campaign trickery, came up with a beauty in the Courier News today. Apparently Kate Whitman, who wants to succeed Fergie in the House, put out an ad that accused state Senator and former state Senate minority leader Leonard Lance of being responsible for the problems in Trenton.

It is eerily similar to Ferguson's "Stender is a Spender" campaign from 2006 where he blamed Assemblywoman Linda Stender for everything that happened in Trenton even if Stender voted against it.

But apparently it's OK to blast Democratic state legislators for being part of the mess in Trenton, but not the Republicans. At least in Fergie world.

"I was very disappointed to see Kate's ad, because it's false, it's misleading, it's a complete distortion of Senator Lance's record,'' said Ferguson, calling Lance a "taxpayer's champion in Trenton for years.''

Yeah, the most powerful Republican in the state government for years and he's a champion. And how about the incredible debt run up under Lance's watch while they controlled state government and Whitman was governor? Was that debt championing the taxpayers?

And blaming Linda Stender for actions in Trenton she voted against wasn't distorting the record? Wasn't that "false, it's misleading, it's a complete distortion of [the] record?'

It's almost comical (4.00 / 1)

and it would be, if - you know - people's lives weren't hanging in the balance.

This is rich. (0.00 / 0)

Lance squealed like a pig when he found that Corzine's planned budget cuts included plans to cut State Police patrols in rural parts of his district. Some champion.
