Tai Shan, Democrat for Congress
Assorted blogs
In the past 14 days the Washington Post has cited Tai Shan in 40 news stories and 73 photos and videos. In contrast, Dennis Hastert made it into 21 news stories and 52 photos, and his counterpart Nancy Pelosi was cited in 48 Post news stories and 52 photos. Obviously, Tai Shan’s panda press clout is huge. Republican and Democratic leaders immediately reached out to this savvy furball
.In an exclusive interview, Tai Shan let the dcblogs team know that he’ll be running as a Democrat. Tai Shan told us that he opposes tax cuts (he worries about the impact of tax cuts on his federally subsidized rocks), favors universal health care (It’s only fair, he noted, since he has full medical coverage.), and supports the Kyoto Protocol. (You would worry about global warming, too, if you were covered with fur, Tai Shan told us.)
The dc blogging universe is taking note.
