Scruggs Nation: the Secret Lives of PR Flacks
After a year’s hiatus, I’ve been looking for the right time to start blogging again. This is that time. The sun, which never sets on the Scruggs Nation, shines ever so brightly once again.
I mean, I can’t pass up a moment like this one, where there is a golden cache of emails out there in the public record, a used-to-be secret horde of communications between the inner Scruggs circle and the PR firm that was supposed to stage manage his triumph in Hurricane Katrina litigation. What could go wrong with that plan?
I apologize in advance to readers who are not well-versed in Scruggsmania, or those who have forgotten some of the names or sequence of events. In this post, I won’t have the time to give a total recap and will have to assume that the reader has a background in what I’m talking about.
These emails are attached to this post at the Y’all Politics blog, and yesterday blog proprietor Alan Lange called me and said they were a must-read. Here’s a link directly to the emails. Alan said these were required reading particularly since a fair number of these emails are about me and my Scruggsblogging. Well, I read every single one of them and my reaction is . . . what’s the word I’m looking for here? Yowza! Crikey! Or maybe even Holy Cow!
