He avails himself of statewide media any time he can, and he's a creful talker. He'll take this as far as he can, and then he'll let his staff follow up when the flames start to die out. When Reynolds tried to rein in his leash, instead of whining and complaining about it, he brought it out to the public eye, and managed to make it clear that it was the public who was getting a shorter end of the stick than he was.
I'm sure he's aware of the video, but I'll ask him just to be certain.
