More on Tom Kean's Political Campaign

Well this is a shocker.
Asked if he had apologized to Clinton for inaccuracies in the movie, Kean quipped, "No, he was out campaigning against my son yesterday, so I didn't reach out to him at all!"
And then there's this, which I blogged about yesterday.
Not only is Kean Sr. a onetime governor -- he's the former president of Drew University in Madison and the acclaimed chairman of the federal 9/11 Commission that investigated the terrorist attacks. That's a great resume for the U.S. Senate.The candidate, however, is his son, Kean Jr., a state senator...
A poll by the Eagleton Institute of Politics earlier this year gave some credence to that argument. It noted that the race was a virtual dead heat, but also that when voters definitely knew the candidate was Kean Jr., Menendez had a lead of nine percentage points, 42 to 33.
A prize to the first reporter* who mentions this GROSS conflict of interest on the part of Tom Kean Sr, which has gone unnoticed so far in press coverage, except by, you know, Tom Kean Senior himself. I have to say, at least Kean Sr has trashed his credibility so we never have to deal with his 'moderate' brand of dishonesty again.
*This prize is also available to the Menendez campaign or any New Jersey Democrat willing to reprint Tom Kean Sr's own words.
