Health Was It Something I Said?
Posted by Eli Sanders on Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 5:53 PM
Doubt it. But, all of a sudden:
Congressman Brian Baird is reversing himself, abandoning his stated terror of town hall meetings, and scheduling five of them, the first set for next Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the office of Congressman Jim McDermott tells me a public town hall meeting is in the works. Similarly, the office of Congressman Jay Inslee says it's planning two in-person town hall events in Washington State, one on Aug. 29 and one on Aug. 30 (locations and times still TBD).
“I don’t remember a time that Jim McDermott’s ever walked away from a fight," McDermott's spokesman, Mike DeCesare, told me.
“We certainly would never back down from it," said Sharmila K. Swenson, District Director for Inslee. "He doesn’t have any fears of what would come his way at the meetings.”
Teabaggers, take note.
