Someone in the House Communications office posted it as is so they could tell Dunnam about it, and the rules for posting, and let Dunnam send a zinger to Craddick.<BR/><BR/>I like the 2nd one, but it is probably the first that's true.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691384412216558403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30340112.post-85065171514298287722007-05-31T15:52:00.000-05:002007-05-31T15:52:00.000-05:00I haven't seen much written up on the Craddick Pre...I haven't seen much written up on the Craddick Press Release blunder.<BR/><BR/>What I find most interesting-- unless things are different in the Speakers office--member's staff do not post Press Releases onto the house web site, or on the members personal web sites, specifcally so that non approved press releases do not get released, and we do not face the problem that Craddick faced in this instance. (For releases to be approved they can't even use the words Democrat or Republican). <BR/><BR/>Press releases must be sent to the office of House Communications (I think that's what they call it) for approval and posting. Those folks are sticklers and go through releases with a fine toothed comb. They have no problem sending it back to you two or three times if it isnt perfect to them. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if Craddick's office and to force it through or if the House Communications always lets his bullshit slide, and this is the first time anyone caught it?<BR/><BR/>In case I am wrong on the name of the office, -- it is the same folks that film the how a bill becomes a law for members to send back to their districts, make sure the the live feeds on the house floor, in the press room and committee rooms are on for the web site TV, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
