Uh oh


Did Kucinich allow a no-no? Snippet from In These Times:

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) got a letter the other day from the Illinois chair of the Dennis Kucinich for President campaign. In These Times got a copy of the letter, too—after all, it was an open letter intending to provoke controversy over Jackson’s decision to endorse Howard Dean.

Lance Del Goebel, depicting Dean as Bush’s immoral collaborator, wrote, “Will you, Congressman Jackson, be explaining to your constituents that they should support Howard Dean because of the project undertaken by Texas Governor George Bush and Vermont Governor Howard Dean to dump Vermont’s toxic waste on the poor Hispanic town of Sierra Blanca, Texas?”

I wonder several things, including, did Kucinich know about and endorse this letter, and, if so, why would he allow something that is more divisive than informative to emanate from his campaign staff? If he didn't know, what will he do about Del Goebel?
