The Inky Gets It Straight On PA-08

The Philadelphia Inquirer announced its endorsement in the eighth district U.S. House race…

…and it’s Kathy Boockvar!

As the Inky tells us here…

A scurrilous Republican ad campaign against Democrat Kathy Boockvar offered (Mike) Fitzpatrick a chance to speak out against the divisiveness that continues to paralyze Washington. But instead of showing leadership, he has mostly talked about his bipartisan credentials as a former county commissioner.

Add his party-line votes to repeal the health-care overhaul and approve budgets that would gut federal programs, maintain tax cuts for the wealthy, and threaten traditional Medicare, and it becomes clear that Fitzpatrick is cozying up to tea-party policies far from his district's mainstream.

Gosh, it looks like the word has gotten out that Mikey’s “spine” is made of vermicelli. Color me shocked!

I’ve criticized the Boockvar campaign for not attacking Fitzpatrick’s awful voting record more. But even though PA-08 was heavily redrawn to support the Repugs…well, if Boockvar somehow manages to pull this off, I’ll gladly eat humble pie.

This is what happens when you get all kissy faced with the Teahadists, Mikey. And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.
