So I'm driving home from work last night, and I hear a commercial come on the radio that starts out like this: "Hi. This is Jeff Feiger". Instant double-take on my part, as Jeff has been quiet for a while.
Thus began an irrational spewing of doom and gloom and the same tired old jargon the Jeff and his leftist buddies have been spewing for years. How Michigan is doomed, and how could we have done this to ourselves, and it's all because of greedy corporate interests that this happened. And his last three words: "God help us". Seriously - he said that.
Then, this morning, I turned on the radio while getting ready for work and heard him again live on The Paul W. Smith Show spewing the same hogwash. "Who will want to live here? It will be nothing but smokestacks!" (whatever that means) And what to him must be the ultimate insult: "We'll be Mississippi!" (Honestly Paul W. - why do you keep bringing this guy on? He is completely irrational, and irrelevant to what is going on in Michigan.)
I don't know if you noticed Jeff, but nobody bought this twaddle when you ran for Governor (John Engler cleaned your clock, and even your own party wanted nothing to do with you), and the number buying it has been steadily decreasing since then. Your union pals proved that this year by getting drubbed on the two union-backed ballot proposals.
Now, I will give Jeff this much - he is paying for the ads with his own money. Because our Constitution recognizes your right to sound like an idiot whenever you want, and spend your own money doing it. It doesn't guarantee that anyone will take you seriously.
