In todays show, heres what I was talking about when I said Gary Hart dared the press to follow him, from Johns piece below -- Emily Hart famously said, “Follow me around. I don’t care. If anybody wants to put a tail on me, go ahead. They’d be very bored.” As Bai notes, that quote came out at the same time as the Miami Herald story about Rice, so no journalist could claim they were simply taking up the candidate on his challenge. Still, Hart had been telling reporters on and off the record for months that there was nothing to sordid claims about his past. When there was suddenly evidence he was fooling around in real time, it’s likely that reporters felt duped and let him have it in extra measure as retribution for trying to hoodwink them.
