What Do Steve Duin, Phil Kiesling and Kevin Mannix Have in Common?

Answer: They're all calling the Oregon Education Association liars.

I have to admit, this is one fascinating development. If you haven't yet read Steve Duin's editorial today ("The OEA Shows its True Colors"), you're missing out. The association of a measure that Keisling supports with Bill Sizemore was simply too much to bear. I have to say, I'm not sure Duin would have come out guns blazing like this if Kiesling didn't have his back, but it's still refreshing.

And let's not forget Kevin Mannix, whose measure has also been lumped in with Sizemore's on an OEA mailing. He's pissed. Does Sizemore have any friends left besides the terminally stoopid?

But back to the OEA, right now I'm nearly as disgusted with them as I am with Sizemore. Both have been in a position to do something good (Sizemore could have provided effective, charismatic leadership to conservatives, and the OEA could have brought him down when he didn't), but because of their inability to control themselves, both have blown their credibility and opportunities all to hell. What a shame.
