He’s a democrat
Instapundit has this post on ANOTHER CHANCE TO PLAY name that party!
Well my answer is, he’s a democrat.
Throughout the entire story the party affiliation is never mentioned. I think it is in the journalist style book, that if a democrat is in trouble, never mention party affiliation or at least bury it towards the end of the article.
If it is a Republican, that is the first thing they mention.
UPDATE: according to the email comments that Glenn Reynolds posted as an update to his original post the article has been update to read “Democratic Representative Robert Filner”.
I sit amazed at the power that is Glenn Reynolds and the Instapundit Empire.
UPDATE: Hot Air has more in a party of their on.
