Sleazy Politics: Have you had enough?
Apparently the OC GOP Party establishment has had enough of the personal attacks and the take-no-prisoners approach used by some of the Party's most well known political operatives.
In what appears to be the latest example, there is a recent e-mail exchange between and OC GOP executive committee member, Mark Bucher and Trung attorney/advisor to the indited Sheriff Carona/former California Republican Party Chairman, Mike Schroeder.
The exchange started with a simple inquiry by Bucher about the potential impact of the scorched earth political tactics being employed against Supervisor Janet Nguyen. The inquiry led to a series of unfounded personal attacks against Bucher by Schroeder and appears to perfectly exemplify the very tactics Bucher had questioned. During the exchange Schroeder further enraged engaged the OC GOP establishment by copying a who's who list of Party big wigs.

Stay tuned for more fallout.

Good for Bucher. Schroeder's sleazy act has enjoyed a free ride for far too long and it is about time somebody stood up to him.

Andy:
Thanks for the commentary on the Bucher/Schroeder dust up and I am pleased to know your thoughts on this matter even though I have no idea who you are.
That being said, you obviously have copies of the e-mails in question (or else you could not have formed an informed opinion about them) so please just post them so we can each weigh for ourselves their import.
Thanks.

I thought everyone had read them at this point. Will dig them up right after I absorb the surprise Carona indictment. Check back tomorrow morning.
