Republican Media Slut Tells All

Posted on | June 28, 2011 | 28 Comments

When I was covering the 2006 GOP primary campaign for Georgia lieutenant governor, I was dumbfounded by the decision of Ralph Reed to hire Lisa Baron as his press secretary. Baron had a notoriously bad reputation among Republican operatives, and why Reed would hire her — in a state where social conservatives dominated the GOP primary — was a mystery that no one ever satisfactorily explained.

So it was perhaps not too surprising when an audio excerpt of Baron’s new tell-all book was released by Vanity Fair and, as Betsy Rothstein writes, Baron describes “giving former President Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer a blow job.”

If nothing else, this helps explain how so many incompetent nitwits get hired to do media for Republican campaigns.
