When it comes to discipline for the Dems, Fetzer and his GOP will never be satisfied. But that doesn't mean they don't have a point as to how the elections board handled the matter of Perdue's campaign flights. This was dirty laundry run through the gentle cycle for delicate unmentionables.
The board, after much investigatory huffing and puffing, decided Tuesday that the failure of Perdue's 2008 campaign to properly report donated private airplane flights warranted a $30,000 fine.

the Irony
The thanks in this case would go to N&O editorial dept.
Ironically, editorial is supposed to be opinion, and news supposed to be objective reporting.
But on this issue, with N&O it is the editorial dept who is objective, and the news that is opinion.
And Martha, thanks for having so much courage.
Many are afraid (perhaps rightfully so) to cry out when something is false, or when it is unpopular to speak up.
Sincerely,

I agree with "the irony" here, and you already said go to...
the Editorial Side at the News and Observer to get something accomplished.
As for courage here are two quick quotes I try to keep in front of me:
1) the quotation from Edmund Burke challenging us all to speak up, or "evil shall prevail."
2) "courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the end of the day saying, "I will try again, tomorrow."
Thanks, Joyce
