Bill McCrory, Mary Souza's sidekick at OpenCDA.com, provides yet another reason this week why you should take every rant publishe on that blog with a proverbial grain of salt. Silent about the 45 miscast ballots in the recent city elections in Kootenai County, Bill levels his considerable bile for all things "Corrupt d'Alene" and Mike Kennedy in a silly screed that protects new County Clerk Cliff Hayes. Bill takes umbrage at Kennedy's comments from last week castigating Hayes for not being present to answer questions re: all the miscast ballots in the Nov. 8 elections. (Remember when Bill blazed away at far fewer ballots miscast in the 2009 Kennedy-Brannon election?) Spinmeister McCrory dismissed Kennedy's comments as "offensive, unprofessional, and misinformed." Then, he defends Hayes: "The Kootenai County Clerk is not a mind reader; no one from the City had invited him to attend or to send a representative to the December 6, 2011, Coeur d’Alene City Council meeting." You can read the rest of McCrory's hypocritical spiel here.

Question: How loudly would McCrory/Souza be yelling at the moment if 45 ballot mistakes were made under the watch of Democrat Dan English rather tha Republican Cliff Hayes?
