Where did I go wrong?

I just stepped outside to get the mail, and found a new message on my answering machine from the Republican National Campaign Committee. They want me to call back so they can give me a National Republican Leadership award.

Why would they call me?

Did I do such a poor job managing a losing Democratic congressional campaign, that the Republics consider me an asset? Did they think that my aim was so poor at Nixons 2nd inauguration, that all the dead rats I hurled at him missed. Did I spend too much time and money working for Howard Dean and John Kerry in 2004 that I'm branded a permanent loser? Do they want me to work for Hillary? Maybe they're looking to replace the guy who was trying to ship money to Pakistan to fund terror camps.

I'm gonna call this guy back later. Who knows? Maybe I can get a job passing out the next batch of Iraqi reconstruction money.

This should be a fun conversation.

Can't wait to hear the update! :rofl: :popcorn:

any business and offer this Business Award for a stipend to come to D.C., go to a dinner, get a plaque, etc. They were offering them wholesale to anyone who wanted something to hang on their wall to make them look Chamber of Commerce, all American, etc.

They must've gotten hold of some list that says you have money in the bank, a decent portfolio through your 401K, or maybe a job as a professional that carries a decent paycheck. Or maybe you just subscribe to Forbes, Kiplinger's, Business Week, or The Economist.

They did this to doctors in 2000, informed them that they'd won a prestigious award. All the doctors had to do was contribute a fee toward defraying the costs of the awards committee. Lots of them fell for it, too.

You and several thousand other people have been honored deeply by the RNCC. Now all you need to do is cough up enough money to qualify for this great honor.

They'd find, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Progressive, Skeptical Inquirer, Scientific American, and Playboy. Not much Republican reading there.

I know a labor leader who is the kind of labor leader who makes republics go all gooey. He likes awards, especially if the rank and file members get the bill.
