Pat Hynes Speaks!
Thursday, July 27th, 2006
Whatever Patrick Hynes gets for his consulting work (actually, we sort of know), he’s worth every cent. Shortly after we posted a follow-up on his John McCain sorta-scandal, Hynes himself called me up to clear the air about Straight Talk America, his cable TV blog, and whether he’s only mean when people pay him to be mean. This marks the first time in my epic four-day saga as a guest-blogger than a libelled public figure has taken the effort to clear things up. Will it happen again? C’mon, Vern: Leave the dogs alone and give me a holler.
The interview starts up top and continues below the fold.
Previously: Reading Between the Hynes, Straight Talk, Unmarked Bills
– David Weigel
WONKETTE: Why did you consult without disclosing it when you’d attacked Daily Kos for the same thing?
PAT HYNES: About the Markos thing: Let me say in my defense, about a year ago I appeared on Washington Journal with Jerome Armstrong. And right then I acknowledged that Markos had appropriately disclosed his consulting work. So I was wrong before.
