Rasmussen: Stewart Crew Ambushed Jorgenson

Veep Duane Rasmussen of the Kootenai County R's sez there's more to state Sen. Mike Jorgenson's close encounter with the crack reporting team of host Jon Stewart's "Daily Show." Remember? The Hayden Lake senator was caught on tape with other national GOP conventioneers explaining "Small Town Values" to Stewart's F-Troopers. Mike stammered that Small Town Values meant church – "Christian church, Jewish church …" Well, Duane tells Huckleberries that he encountered Mike shortly after the taping occurred. And that Mike couldn't figure out what had just happened to him. Seems one of the Stewart reporters filmed Mike's part of the segment four times before he got what he wanted. Which was an extremely funny cameo in the four-minute-plus clip. However, Duane says that Mike now feels that he was "ambushed" into looking foolish. He had plenty of company on that clip/DFO, SR Handle Extra. More here.
