The Lefts Feeble Attempt at Street Theatre
« Keeping Hope Alive | Main | Should Republicans Be Pragmatic About Climate Change? »There is a brief story in yesterday's Courier about Heather Ryan. A resident of Western Kentucky who claims to be have been fired by McConnell because she confronted the senator. The anti-Mitch forces have been in a frenzy over this story for the last couple of days.
Heather Ryan said she waited outside her workplace -- Maiden Alley Cinema -- with her 12-year-old daughter last week to ask McConnell about the Iraq war and videotape his answer.
Ryan said that when McConnell came out he ignored the questions.
She sent an e-mail to friends and used expletives to describe her efforts to confront McConnell at the Paducah cinema.
Let me see if I get this straight. Heather stalks a patron of the facility which employs her. Has her daughter blind side him as he is leaving with wacky questions about Iraq. Afterwards, she sends out a nasty email message about the incident.
Hmmm, If I were the owner I would have fired her without a question. Think of it this way. If you owned a business and one of your employees did something similar to an important client what would you do? Welcome the unacceptable behavior? No you would get rid of the problem.
Whether Heather likes it or not, she has chosen to be employed in the service industry. She choose to act in a way that reflects negatively upon the organization that employs her. Her termination should have been expected. She should take personal responsibility for her actions and live with the consequences rather than blaming others.
This is a stupid story that shouldn't even be in the Courier. But we all know that the Courier can't pass on an opportunity for a quick smear on McConnell. The left must be getting desperate if they have to stoop to such feeble street theater in hopes of unseating McConnell in November.
