The Fighting 29th All about New York's 29th Congressional District http://www.fighting29th.com/node/4167/atom/feed 2006-10-31T07:35:50-05:00 Trivium http://www.fighting29th.com/2006/10/trivium.html 2006-10-31T07:35:50-05:00 2006-10-31T07:35:50-05:00 Rottenchester The "big story" this morning is the disruption (video) of a Kuhl press conference in Corning by a group of Massa supporters, who tried to get Massa signs in the background.  The event was scheduled by Kuhl to announce a grant for some improvements to downtown Corning.  Kuhl announced a similar grant Friday in Elmira. 

In the video, Kuhl complains about being thwarted "doing his job".  That's news to me:  I thought near-election press events pimping pork were "campaigning", not "doing your job". 

In other unimportant news, the latest Massa ad has been pulled by WETM, a TV station in Elmira, because it contained a shot of one of their reporters and their logo.  The Massa campaign called it an "honest mistake" and are re-cutting the ad without the shot.
