Bob's biggest both-ways yet?
Asking me to pick my favorite Beauprez flip-flop is like asking me to choose between my children. But this one is right up there. I'll let the Rocky do the heavy lifting:
GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez voted in Congress to strengthen protections against abuse of a national crime database for non-law enforcement purposes.
But last week, Beauprez portrayed an "informant" who gave his campaign information - which critics say came from that database - as a heroic whistleblower.
I'm disappointed to hear anybody describing Beauprez's crony as a "whistleblower" in any context. As Pacified wrote at Square State, the ICE agent apparently illegally accessed a database for political gain and distributed information about a legal policy. That's not whistleblowing. It's just wrong.
My Both Ways Bob Watch will be updated shortly.
