Minutiae Watch: flipping the bird goes national

The King County Journal is having a field day with this oh-so important story:

Now, what seemed like a routine war story from the campaign trail has grown into a minor political tempest with mention on Fox News and Rush Limbaugh's nationally syndicated radio talk show.

"We are that issue right now, I believe," said Sara Niegowski, an Issaquah School District spokeswoman.

The Journal has received e-mails from the East Coast, as well as locally, supporting the firing of the bus driver, but others have castigated Reichert for calling the school district.

The Issaquah School District has been inundated with calls from local and national media and on Wednesday, Supt. Janet Barry issued a press release, outlining the district's reasons for firing the bus driver.

And the attempts at distraction continue apace. Hopefully the bus driver didn't botch any jokes, that would be bad, bad.

Behold the liberal media at work.
