Pat Ducks, Blames Obama
June 12, 2013 - by
Maybe it’s the heat, the humidity or just that it’s June. A reporter gets arrested. Senator Tom Goolsby has 60s flashbacks. Governor McCrory sees “outsiders” when they’re not there. The Democratic Party debacle deepens.
But the flap over the Governor’s game of catch – and his spokesperson’s bizarre statement – still stand out in a week of bizarre capital news.
First video evidence and a time stamp are examined to resolve whether the Governor was in a meeting or playing catch on the lawn when Progress NC, Bob Etheridge and a group of children brought him a petition protesting education cuts.
Then Kim Genardo makes this classic statement:
“The photo being circulated today by that liberal advocacy group was taken AFTER the petitions were dropped off at the Capitol. Taking the advice of First Lady Michelle Obama, the governor each day attempts to get some exercise, yesterday throwing the baseball and today walking from NC State’s campus back to the Capitol. Governor McCrory will be back out tomorrow throwing the baseball perhaps with children who share his All-American passion.”
That’s the ticket: Blame Michelle. And hide behind America and baseball.
