Jason: I'm wondering if Congressman Schaffer approves your language?
Wadhams: He approves of the aggressive way we are trying to draw contrasts with Boulder Liberal Mark Udall.
Jason: Will you hook me up with the congressman to see if he approves of you using those words, ass and scumbag?
Wadhams: You can try calling him if you want.
Jason: OK. What's his number?
Wadhams: You know, Jason, you are a liberal partisan. You set yourself up as some kind of objective source. And, Jason, you and I both know you are liberal partisan Democrat.
[ed - but he has no problem talking to the fair and balanced fox news]
Jason: Not true. I try to be fair.
Wadhams: I don't consider you a legitimate reporter, Jason.
Jason: You'll see. I'm fair.
Wadhams: Oh no you're not. Your columns amuse me, but you are a partisan Democrat. Talking to you is like talking to the spokesman of the Democratic Party. We don't have to talk to you.
Jason: Well, I appreciate your talking to me.
Wadhams: I don't have to. I might as well be talking to the press secretary for the Democratic Party.
Jason: That's not true. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. Take that.
Well, I suppose one can't be more fair than just reprinting exactly what was said. Personally, I would have said, so, and you're not a partisan Republican? Just what is a legitimate reporter anyway? One who reprints your press releases no matter how untrue? The ones that take your calls yelling at them? If you can just put your hands over your ears and sing, "La la la, I can't hear you" then why get in a screaming match the other day with Udall press secretary Tara Trujillo? Is screaming at her closer to talking to Helen Thomas or Jason Salzman? I hear from "legitimate reporters" it was quite the scene.
