Video: Rep. Connie Mack to Liberal journalist: Get back to me when you become a real reporter

Alright, what's going on here? First Mitt Romney, now Rep. Connie Mack. Somebody must have slipped some testosterone into the mash potatoes at the RNC cafeteria! ha

The war between Rep. Connie Mack and Tampa Bay Times political editor Adam Smith continued today when the Republican representative told Smith to his face that he wasn't a real journalist.

As my colleage Charlie Mahtesian has reported, Rep. Mack has been on the attack against the media for some time. But his campaign's decision to single out Smith in a letter to supporters — referring to him by name seven different times and accusing the newspaper “left wing venom” and attempts to “torpedo Connie’s candidacy" — is, Mahtesian notes, unique.
