From the Miami Herald …
The campaign ads were bitterly divisive, even by the standards of a bare-knuckle primary, accusing the opponent of then Republican senatorial hopeful Mel Martinez of playing to the “radical homosexual lobby.”
Martinez blamed the ads on “young Turks” in his campaign and apologized to his GOP rival. Weeks later Martinez found himself again blaming a staff member after a press release from his campaign likened U.S. immigration agents to “armed thugs” for seizing Elián González from his Miami home in 2000.
Now, for the third time, Martinez finds himself under fire — and blaming an aide for the conflagration.
Good help is so hard <$NoAd$>to find.
