While Mark gets a well-deserved break from the blogosphere, the familiar “with friends like these” beat goes on. Over in Alex Koppelman’s War Room at Salon there’s a
report on a group called Catholics United who are demanding that Deal Hudson gets a pink slip from the Catholics for McCain National Steering Committee. It seems that Hudson, one-time advisor on all things Catholic to George W., was asked to resign from the President’s 2004 re-election campaign because of allegations of sexual harassment of a student while teaching at Fordham.”Deal Hudson is not the type of Catholic leader that you want associated with your campaign” Catholics United wrote in a letter to McCain, so far, without response.
