Walk the walk, Gov. Joe
THE WICKED WAG returns with the guest post below. (Please note: the Wicked Wag is getting up to speed on gazzblog posting. The gazz editor has posted this ArtAttack entry on the Wag’s behalf — he is not the illustrious WW.)
The Wicked Wag saw one of those filler releases that come from state government in the June 12 West Virginia Record, a weekly newspaper that purports to serve the legal community. What a “column” with Joe Manchin’s by-line on it titled “Attend a fair or festival this summer” was doing in that publication doesn’t take much guess work. The paper had a hole to fill, so they stuffed it with that release.
Yet the Wag finds it highly amusing that the same governor who opted to attend the NASCAR races in North Carolina on the weekend of The Vandalia Gathering, the biggest state-supported heritage festival of the year that occurs literally in his backyard, is telling fellow West Virginians they can have a “great, inexpensive retreat close to home.”
The Wag suggests that the governor walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
