Keep talking, Mary Beth. PLEASE keep talking!

Buchanan, Wecht spat makes for mega hurts on radio. Talk show buzzes as candidate calls, clashes with host

<snip>
Opponents of former U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan's brand-new congressional bid said her failed federal corruption case against Cyril H. Wecht would become a thorny issue in the race. In her very first day as an official candidate for the District 4 seat, she made sure it did.

Ms. Buchanan called into KDKA-AM on Thursday morning to complain about claims on the Marty Griffin show about the cost of the federal case, and while doing so told Mr. Griffin he was "running afoul" of defamation law and to "shut up."

Dr. Wecht, the former Allegheny County coroner and local Democratic Party chair, seized on that in a call to Mr. Griffin's morning show, claiming that the two-year federal case against him -- which Ms. Buchanan dropped in 2008 -- cost taxpayers $20 million. She called the show after Dr. Wecht left the air, saying that figure was "wildly exaggerated" and Mr. Griffin was trying to "distort my record."

"You repeat and that is just flat-out wrong," Ms. Buchanan said. "And you know, we still have defamation laws in this country. To the extent that you keep repeating things that are flat-out wrong, you're running afoul. That case could not have cost the government more than $500,000 and that's on the outside."

"So you're saying you're going to sue me, is that what you're saying Mary Beth?," Mr. Griffin asked.

That's right, Mary Beth. Lose your cool with one of the biggest a-hole radio talkers in town. Tell him to shut up and threaten to sue him! What an awesome way to begin a candidacy - you go, girl! Best of luck against a very popular Jason Altmire - your soul mate Missy Hart couldn't beat him, and you won't either.

Mary Beth Buchanan is one of Bush Jr's stooges. She's the one who put Tommy Chong in federal prison for nine months for selling bongs over the internet. I know I felt much safer when that dangerous criminal was locked up!

1. Oh yes, please keep talking Mary Beth

The primaries will be interesting to see how badly she is going to lose. She is off to a terrible start with this little tantrum.

2. She pestered the Chong's bong company to get them to ship to PA.

Tommy Chong's family ran a custom blown glass bong business in Cal. Buchanan put an incredible amount of effort into trying to nail him - from Pittsburgh. She repeatedly tried to get them to ship to Pittsburgh so, in a confused manner, she could say that violated PA. law. I don't know why a Federal prosecutor was so worried about a state law. Eventually, one of the their employees put the order in the mail to shut them up, after it was supposed to be picked up in person in California.

Tommy Chong took the fall so his family members didn't go to jail. What a waste of resources. She targeted Chong specifically because he had mocked law enforcement in his 1970s movies. There is a documentary about the whole debacle.

7. Let them all devour themselves...

Isn't that what right wing radio and extremists at the end of the day will do?

I personally never listened to this guy (guess I'm not missing much, eh?) but I can't think of a better recipe than for someone of his ilk to devour another Bush Stooge who tried to re-write history, then gets all defensive. Somebody please push Mary Beth's next button, as it should be easy to find.
