F.T. Rea of SLANTBlog notices that blogging ethics seems to be this week’s theme, not just against Ben Tribbett but also from Richmond Democrat against the SWAC bloggers, perhaps best known for their battle with Waldo Jaquith and Shaun Kenney last Christmas. The Richmond Democrat has one post about Dr. Kurt Michael, better known to the blogging world as General Grievous’s Dog, and another that details the outting of SWAC bloggers by Teddy’s Truth.
From Teddy’s Pinocchio Syndrome:
A few of the committee chairs within Virginia’s 24th Senatorial District have recently had a good time bending the truth.
In an unprecedented move, several of the chairs and vice chairs broke from the Republican party and attacked one of the elected representatives they were supposed to be supporting.
Whether or not chairs and elected officials within the Republican Party are required to support currently elected officials is a bit beside the point. The big question should be, shouldn’t chairs and elected Party officials show a bit more restraint or maturity when trying to direct what could be construed as their local committee’s platform?
As committee chairs and actual local leaders within the party the appalling thing is how they go about their jobs in such a low manner. One should be able to expect better from leadership. That the lack of ethics is found in people who should be leading and showing the way is quite disturbing.

They seek him here,
They seek him there,
Those Dems just seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven, hell,
Or in a great fog?
That demmed, elusive, General Grievous’ Dog.
Odd’s fish, your party’s ‘outting’ of the Dog was off base. Look elsewhere, because you’ve been given the slip….

Listen to the BS:
“As committee chairs and actual local leaders within the party the appalling thing is how they go about their jobs in such a low manner. One should be able to expect better from leadership. That the lack of ethics is found in people who should be leading and showing the way is quite disturbing”
Teddy’s Truth a completely anonymous blog.. what if Democrat Leadership were behind it? No questioning of that?
This blog has No credibility….
Furthermore, if we urge our elected officials to blog, then why shouldn’t Party officials be encouraged to do the same?
hypocrisy maybe?
and further, how do we not know that this anonymous blog is not run by Dem leadership just out to cast aspersions as usual on their political opponents?
