WTNH EXPOSES ROB SIMMONS (CT-02) AS A PATHETIC HYPOCRITE AND A HACK

The News Channel 8 nightly news is THE big local news show in Connecticut's hotly contested 2nd CD, where rubber stamp Republican Rob Simmons is desperately fighting to save his job, after a long and consistent record of selling out his constituents to stay on the Big GOP/Big Business gravy train. There was one issue, however, where Simmons did join Connecticut working people and Democrats-- and that was to save the submarine base in Groton. After the base was saved from Rumsfeld, Simmons thanked Joe Courtney for not politicizing the battle and for the bipartisan cooperation. Apparently forgetting that he had left Courtney a voice mail expressing these sentiments quite clearly, Simmons put together a hypocritical and misleading TV ad claiming that Courtney didn't lift a finger to help. Last night Channel 8 exposed Simmons for exactly what he is-- and even played the voice mail. This should be the final nail in Simmons' political coffin.
