(Chuck Muth) – It seems “Sweet Phoebe Purebread,” the communications director for the Nevada Reid-Democrat-Union Party, has her knickers in a knot/tights in a twist over the establishment of our independent Nevada News Bureau.

“Last Tuesday we pointed out that anything coming out of the new Nevada News Bureau – founded as it was by a man so right-wing he fled the Republican party because it wasn’t conservative enough for him – would hardly be ‘news,’” declarethed the Democrats in their most recent Elephant Watch email newsletter. “We revealed the new ‘impartial’ news service as what it really is – an attempt to cloak (Chuck) Muth’s partisan invectives in some kind of legitimacy to further his political agenda.”

Oh, puh-lease.

Take look at the material which has been published and distributed by the Nevada News Bureau so far and if you can find ANY hint of “partisan invective” – I’ll eat a bug.

As blogger Dullard Mush, certainly no card-carrying member of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, accurately notes, “the real heavy-lifting at the NNB will be by Sean Whaley….a journalist who logged almost two decades in Carson City for the Las Vegas Review-Journal (who) doesn’t exactly fit the profile of a partisan hack. And a look at the first series of articles would tend to bear that out — straight forward, if not a tad mundane, pieces on Nevada government.”

Do Democrats ever get tired of being proved wrong?

Um, forget I even asked that.
