Jack over at Western Word is quickly becoming one of my favorite Montana blogs. He is consistently breaking interesting stories - driving the debate in the Dextrasphere. Take a look at his latest gem, catching Tester in a bit of a contradiction.

After that announcement and with Tuesday’s viewpoint from the senator telling us it was completed before the documents apparently arrived, the beliefs that this whole audit was just a publicity stunt to get votes are even stronger today - just like his comments about his being “against earmarks, period” were a publicity stunt.

We’ve blogged about Tester’s ethics audit before, here, here and here. Still wondering if the audit is itself a violation of ethics rules that prohibit in-kind contributions. Not holding our breath for the media to ask a tough question like this though - not when the alternative is writing about what a bang-up job Mr. 99 is doing.
