SPOKANE -- A Spokane television station yesterday refused to air a political ad on behalf of Republican U.S. House candidate Cathy McMorris that implied her opponent's deceased father was part of a questionable business deal.

KAYU-TV of Spokane, a Fox affiliate, decided the National Republican Congressional Committee did not provide enough proof that the ad was true. The money will be shifted to other television stations in Spokane, which are running the ad against Democratic candidate Donald Barbieri, the NRCC said.

"This latest one attacking the integrity of Don's father is a new low for them," said Stephen Barbieri, press secretary to his father's campaign. "Cathy McMorris has a responsibility to demand that it stop."

But McMorris' campaign said she had nothing to do with the ad and would not speak out against it.

1. If only other stations had this much integrity

Good for them. Integrity over ad dollars.

2. Yeah but the Reblicans love a good spin especially when the spin

is about a deceased person .... pathetic.

3. Repugs will say and do anything against anyone who gets in their

way of their lust for power.
