[Full disclosure: Rob Teilhet is a friend, and I'm going to be proud to vote for him.]

Andre Walker pulls out the long knives this morning and tries to carve up Democratic candidate for Attorney General Rob Teilhet. Unfortunately, instead of eviscerating Teilhet, Andre just sort of builds a house of cards, without much of a foundation.

Andre's lede makes it sound like Teilhet is more like Ken Lay. (Say it out loud and that sentence makes sense.) Sez Andre, "The lingering stench coming from the collapse of a large, Georgia-based insurance company has now drifted over the campaign of a candidate for Attorney General."

Ouch. But, the truth is... well, not even in the same zip code, really. And even Andre Walker himself admits it, saying, "The lengths of Teilhet's involvement with SEUS' business practices has [sic] yet to be revealed." That's Andre's way of telling you that he's going to go ahead and indict Teilhet without any evidence.

Just working for someone isn't evidence of wrongdoing, and Andre ought to remember that. After all, Andre worked for David Scott, but as far as I know, no one accused him of involvement in Scott's alleged violation of federal tax laws.

Here's what you've really got. An insurance company has behaved badly and practiced shady accounting. Teilhet worked for them, in a capacity wholly unrelated to accounting. And, that's pretty much all you've got. To imply anything more is irresponsible, and Andre ought to clarify immediately that he's got nothing but speculation to build his house on.
