So, we're not the only ones who find the ongoing feud between Diane Black and Lou Ann Zelenik ... interesting. Both Politico and Mother Jones are out with pieces on Thursday's rematch.
With what may well be the lede of the year, Mother Jones writer Tim Murphy dives deep into the race that "has it all." His piece is a whistlestop tour through the whole catty saga, hitting Zelenik's obsession with the Murfreesboro mosque, the lawsuit that followed the last Black-Zelenik showdown, and former Zelenik staffer, fellow Shariah-spotter, and proud owner of a new super-PAC Andrew Miller's financial carpet bombing of the race on Zelenik's behalf.
The Politico piece is more focused on Miller, his money, and the effect it has had on a race that was last won by less than 300 votes. That and, of course, his obvious interest in the threat of Shariah.
A sample, from both, after the jump:
