Desperate Republicans Make Up Stuff To Attack Feingold

The brain and muscle behind the election of Michael Steele to head the Republican National Committee was Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus. It's been a priceless gift to comedy writers and Democrats.

Now Priebus has been working to create a line of attack on Senator Russ Feingold by just plain making stuff up about Feingold being "silent on the issue" of federal loan guarantees for Milwaukee-area manufacturer Bucyrus International preserving hundreds of jobs. The CEO of Bucyrus International then responded with a letter denying Priebus' assertion and detailing Senator Feingold's efforts to help them get the Export-Import Bank's ruling reversed.

Response from Priebus so far: silence.

Appropriate response: "D'oh!"

Forward Our Motto has the gist here.
