The outburst brought Weisflog a ton of national publicity, including prominent play on the evening and cable TV news, the Rush Limbaugh radio show and a number of blogs and Web sites.
What those media outlets didn't say, however, was that Weisflog may have had good reason for being a little on edge.
And it had nothing to do with politics.
In the past year, Weisflog and his former business, Weisflog's Showroom Gallery, lost two state Supreme Court cases in a lengthy dispute with some customers.
I wonder which Democratic operative spent the time digging into the background of a private citizen and then passed the info onto Bice? I'm sure Weisflog's public flogging by the newspaper will set a fine example to any other would-be outspoken McCain supporter.
Disgusting, really. Apparently lost in the recent cuts at the newspaper was any sense of decency.
