Old news, pretty meaningless blog piece, in all a waste of time.

The Paul campaign politely declined to comment. "We don't discuss private discussion or negotiations with journalists," said campaign spokesman Jesse Benton. The story, which is pretty harsh -- and which will probably be the last NR cover story on the 21st century's unlikely libertarian icon -- is a lesson in can happen if you blow a reporter off.


Had to read that twice... I think think I get what he's trying to say, but its not a very "Wordsmith" like way to put it.

At least he demonstrates that he's vindictive, and he seems to justify Jesse's stance.

Boo hoo for National Review. The campaign knows you're going to do a hit piece on him whether he's interviewed or not. This is just like refusing to go on O'Reilly. They're going to attack you no matter what, so don't give them the ratings boost. Don't reward a business for an inferior product.
