GOP Fires Phone Operators

HuffPo has done a bit more tinkering to her page and now has three top stories. We like the shuffle.

One of her top stories this morning is out of the Washington Times on recent firings of phone bank workers for the Republican National Committee. The firings are openly attributed, in the article, to anger among the GOP about the immigration bill resulting in dramatically lower party contributions.

I love reading between the lines on this one.

Arianna likes it anytime there's bad news in the GOP ranks, so that's a no brainer. The ultra-conservative Washington Times' decision to run this story is not an accident, either. You don't see this getting big play over at CNN the other major outlets. The Times is running it because they hate the immigration bill (they see it as an amnesty program) and they want to stick it to the GeeDub admin and the rest of the Republicans who they believe are betraying their principles to get a bill passed. This is a "see what you're doing?!" article.

With the economic figures that came out the other day, the GOP should be careful about how many jobs it's creating and eliminating.

Addendum (8:23AM EST)-- National Review chimes in on this, as well, linking up a note that Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss is feeling the heat from his support for the bill.
