    Just what we need in CT, the husband of a senator who acts the fool on a regular basis and there are still the steroid use by employees that has never been sufficiently explained, the lack of benefits provided to the men and women who produce the revenue, the bankruptcy that has been and embarrassment considering their personal wealth and the debts that were written off, (the stable bills in the $40,000.00 range owed to small family stables), the untruth about the jobs created and the repeated lying in McMahon’s ads that, although the facts have been pointed out revealing the inaccuracies, she continues to lie about the facts, this is politics at it’s worst. McMahon has no political experience except to have failed against Blumenthal who had a record that proved his ability despite her having spent tens of millions of dollars to try to win.

    Yes Mitch but the employees she brags about assaulting audience members should be reported on or she should shut up about creating jobs. Can’t have it both ways.

    While we may not agree on things from a political perspective I respect your work as a reporter.

    In terms of this race, I am a proud of being a Republican. While I gave the seconding speech for the candidate of my choice, Brian K. Hill, at the Republican convention, I am supporting Linda McMahon’s candidacy because I believe that I have more in common with her positions overall – despite her moving further to the left on several issues – than I do with Chris Murphy. As Linda does move more left, she will NEVER catch up with Chris Murphy in that department.

    But having said that, I REALLY don’t like this article for what you are trying to imply. Wrestling is what the McMahon family business IS. What Vince was doing here is no different than anything he’s been involved with for the past 40 some years.

    To try and make an issue of this, in my opinion, is no different than you writing a piece about Chris Murphy’s wife going to work to do whatever it is that she does for a living.

    Again, this is just my opinion, but clearly you’re trying to make an issue out of something that really isn’t there. This is business as usual for a family in the wrestling business.

    Now had Vince shown up with cameras at some sort of far left social function and did something highly unusual then I think you’d have a story, but this to me was VERY unfair and a misuse of a platform that very few do have, in a clearly biased manner.

    I will continue to read your work, as I said that I respect your writing, but this wasn’t right.
