There is the usual back and forth over Rep. Bill Owens trip to Taiwan over the Christmas holidays. My question is how did our Member of Congress slip off to Taiwan with no one noticing ? It's almost five months later.
The Matt Doheny campaign criticised the trip, saying the district could do better.
The Owens loyalists (or Doheny haters, I don't know which) are busy with their 'our guy was kissing up to lobbyists but Doheny was kissing an operative' rationale.
This is an opening for Mr. Doheny to take the shine off Mr. Owens who so far has avoided personal controversy in seeking a third term representing NNY.
Its going to be a spirited campaign with the rival press flacks cranking out daily jabs at their foes.
Doheny Campaigns Sees Opening On Taiwan Trip

If Owens hadn't tried to get Nancie's desk over to China with his group, this never would have happened. He should have cleared the time off with her, then taken the trip, then assumed the position the minute he got back. She could have gotten a stand in, so to speak. Someone like a Chris Matthews would have had tingles forever. Or Rachel Maddow.
Matt take note this disconnect will be yours when the costs of the wedding play out.
I love that photo of Owens/Pelosi. Look at the way the folks have that adoring look with they gaze at him. Stunning.
