Newsmax has long been trying to rehabilitate the reputation of Ralph Reed, who has been tarnished by his association with scandal-ridden lobbyist Jack Abramoff and got stomped in a 2006 Republican primary for Georgia lieutenant governor — even bizarrely letting him denounce political corruption.
Newsmax is still at it with an Oct. 3 article and video by Jim Meyers and Kathleen Walter allowing Reed to opine on what Mitt Romney had to do in last night’s presidential debate. Meyers and Walter, needless to say, make no mention of Reed’s connection to Abramoff or his political failure.
Guess this means we’ll be hearing from fellow rehabilitation project Vito Fossella pretty soon…
