O'Malley's Capital Sunday

Martin O'Malley was on Capital Sunday on DC's Channel 7 this morning. His appearance was rather telling.

O'Malley spent most of his appearance focused on Governor Ehrlich, and often criticized him by name. When the anchors tried to compare O'Malley to Doug Duncan, he refused to acknowledge Duncan as anything other than "my distinguished colleague from Montgomery County." It is interesting, however, to note that O'Malley showed up on Sunday morning Washington television days after Doug Duncan launched a new series of ads aimed at both O'Malley and the Governor.

As usual, O'Malley's hypocrisy shined through; he lambasted the Ehrlich Administration for what he perceived as being nasty, attack politics while simultaneous attacking the Governor's character and making seemingly personal attacks on him and his administration. At the same time, he also took credit for his supposed advances he made in crime prevention and education while simultaneously blaming the Governor for Baltimore's problems with crime prevention and education.

O'Malley's appearance was more of the same disappointing blame game rhetoric we expect from him and his campaign.
