Friendly Bob Corker's Cloture Emporium
remains open for business.

The office of Senator Bob Corker has today echoed the statements of Barack Obama regarding the Tennessee GOP’s attack on Michelle Obama.

Senator Corker’s Chief of Todd Womack responded with the following statement:

“After what the Republican National Committee did to our campaign with their infamous ‘Call Me’ ad - which we immediately denounced - we have strongly encouraged the national party and state parties to absolutely refrain from getting involved in negative personal campaigning, and we have asked the state party to remove their You Tube ad from their Web site. Republicans will be in much better shape if we spend our time focused on issues like reducing federal spending, lowering the cost of health care and creating a coherent energy policy.”

I'd say it's pretty slimy for Corker to continue to complain about the evil ad which made him a senator, but politics is politics. Seems to have added energy policy into the deal.
