Really Kyle? Dick Morris???

Dick Morris made a visit last week to Grand Rapids, and preached to the choir in the form of a small group of 12 Republicans at the Amway Grand. An article in the Grand Rapids Press was the only press hit this three city tour received, and was distinctive in that it labeled EAG "a Muskegon organization critical of teachers unions.” "Anti-union" would have been more accurate, or better yet, "anti-MEA", as a complete examination of EAG’s work shows that it has yet to target any other organization.

The article had a great quote from local leader Paul Helder: "It's interesting that Mr. Morris believes that Kyle Olson, the 'Education Action Guy,' is considered a grassroots group."

Exactly. And Kyle, you’re the vice president of strategy. Why won’t you tell anyone who the President is? Is it because EAG doesn’t have a president?

And finally, why in the world are we taking education advice from Dick Morris? You might remember that he was a political advisor to President Clinton until he let hooker Sherry Rowlands listen in on his phone calls to Clinton. The original article tells us that he had a weakness for singing “I’m Popeye the Sailor Man” to Rowlands while dancing in his underwear.

We should listen to this guy when he spouts education policy?
