Jane Norton Throws McInnis Under the Wheels

On the Caplis and Silverman Show yesterday, in our experience you don’t do this by accident:

Let’s be clear on what Jane Norton said on the matter of those pesky tax returns that have vexed gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis so famously:

Craig Silverman: Jane, I am just wondering since I asked Ken Buck did you get the disclosure forms from The Denver Post and your feelings about whether a political candidate such as yourself should make full disclosure of the income and charities?

Jane Norton: Absolutely. [Pols emphasis] We did get it and we are working on it. I was just up in my attic getting down my tax returns. But yeah, I think elected officials should have that kind of scrutiny and that kind of transparency. People need to know that. So although it is a real irritant to my husband we will certainly comply (laughter) with those requests. I don’t have a problem with that.

Write this down: when your friends start triangulating off you, it’s pretty much over.
