What a great discussion on KNPR this morning (audio will be loaded this afternoon). Dave Berns is a class act. I commend him not only for his stellar moderating skills but also his general commitment to fairness.

Frankly, when I first started going on KNPR I didn’t expect the questions and discussions to be so fair and balanced. I was wrong, and I’m glad to have been proven so.

Here’s a shot of the Muthster and me from today’s broadcast:

Here’s the link to the KNPR page featuring this morning’s State of Nevada all star line-up of Nevada analysts, panelists, pundits, and me. You can read notes, listen to the broadcast, and see a few in-studio pics.

Note: I did very little talking during the first hour, so you’ll find most of my brilliant insights in Part 2. (kidding: everyone there was much smarter and wittier than I am)

It was great to meet Jon Ralston, Geoff Schumaker, and Patricia Cunningham for the first time. And Chuck Muth and Steve Sebelius were their usual interesting selves. Interpret that as you will.

Nevada Secretary of State Denies Allegations He Deliberately Wrecked ACORN Potluck Honoring Lazy Crackheads

Just before I was on KNPR with Steve Sebelius this morning, State of Nevada host Dave Berns had Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller on the air discussing yesterday’s raid on the Las Vegas ACORN offices.

After Sec. Miller summed up the situation, Dave mentioned some grousing about the timing of the raid by managers at ACORN. Apparently their offices were stormed just hours before a celebratory potluck dinner was planned in recognition of 80,000 new voter registrations.

The insinuation was that there had been a deliberate intent to interrupt the event. SOS Miller denied this in an eloquent statement that can pretty much be summed up as, “No, we did not try to wreck their little potluck.”

In response to ACORN regional director Matthew Henderson’s claims that the raid was a “politically motivated stunt,” Sec of State Miller reminded listeners that he is a registered Democrat and stated his commitment to “fair and honest elections in Nevada.”

Apparently submitted voter cards included addresses and names that do not exist, duplicates, and names gleaned from the Dallas Cowboys roster. It is also alleged that ACORN hired 59 felons through a work release program.

Miller says new registrations are serial coded on arrival, that he is committed to reviewing and systematically weeding out bogus forms, and that he is “very confident” all the bogus cards can be flagged and invalidated between now and November 4^th.

Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin did us the favor of combing through the 20-page search warrant from yesterday’s Las Vegas raid. She flagged the section where ACORN employee Jason Anderson referred to some of their canvassers as “lazy crack-heads”.

Anderson said ACORN sets quotas of 20 registration forms per canvasser per shift and that slackers are put on probation or terminated if they do not produce.
