BSB’s Modern Esquire quits over Lee Fisher interview

Politics

Whoa.

Just last week, I wrote a post about how Fisher’s campaign’s spokewoman Lauren Goode responded to our request that the Senate candidates heed ODP Chairman Chris Redfern’s pledge of neutrality in the primary and not force ODP to issue an endorsement.  I was quickly attacked for “wrongfully” alleging that Goode’s “no comment” was, in essence, actually a “no” to the pledge.  While David and I were wondering why Fisher suddenly pulled out of his earlier commitment to take questions from you, the readers of BSB, (like Brunner had) apparently Nick was sitting on an interview with Fisher that he, nor Lauren Goode, ever disclosed to me existed.  An interview that painfully shows at the end how right I was about Fisher’s utter lack of concern for progressive voters who want to be heard over ODP machine politics….

So, Nick and David, do whatever the hell you want with BSB.  You’ll be doing it without me.

It’s clear there were two lines coming out of the Fisher campaign on the pledge – Lauren Goode was spinning bloggers, making them think no decision had been made, a position that was not true, and the real position, which Nick at BSB had in his possession from Lee himself.  

I’ll have more thoughts on this later.  But this is obviously bullshit.
