News Painful: Last night's 10th District debate
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Tue, Jul 10, 2007 at 4:02 PM
I don't think I've ever felt more embarrassed to be a Georgian than I was watching last night's televised debate between 10th Congressional District candidates Jim Whitehead and Paul Broun.
Among the lowlights:
1) In an attempt to neutralize Whitehead's pro-gun cred, Broun said that someone told him that Whitehead didn't actually own a gun. Asinine.
2) Whitehead referred to the concentration of high-tech businesses in northern California as "Silicone" Valley.
The Atlanta Press Club will post video of the debate later today, at which point I'll moan more extensively.
