Wisconsin Dems Attack Tea Partier For Outsourcing
Here's a tip for the tea party Republican attempting to win a general election: don't let Democrats find out you employed Chinese labor to publish your books about American heroism.

Such is the fate of Kim Simac, a tea party leader founder and Republican party choice to win the Wisconsin state Senate recall election against incumbent Democratic Sen. Jim Holperin. Simac was last seen scrubbing the web of her past writings comparing the public schools to Nazi Germany.

Now she's stuck having to explain away why her uber-patriotic children's books are published in China.

Last week, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel told the story:

(Simac) wrote a children's book called "American Soldier Proud and Free" in 2007. She refers to the 32-page book - in which a kid details his love of God and country in an extended poem - occasionally on the campaign trail...the self-published book indicates it was "printed in China." The same is true of her second book, "Girls Play Hockey Too!"

Simac's campaign told the Journal-Sentinel that the publisher she used, RR Donnelley made the decision to publish the books in China, and she had no choice in the matter.

Cue the Democratic backlash....

1. They ought to send her to china so that she can spend some time 'printing' her own books
Edited on Fri Aug-05-11 11:02 AM by Tyrs WolfDaemon
If there is any good in her Life-Spark she would begin to understand why unions are good...







Wait...






What am I thinking. She's a TeaPee-er which means that she has neither smarts in her head or good in her Life-Spark.

edit: We should still send her there, but make it a one way ticket.
We can tell her that the return ticket is waiting for her in China. :evilgrin:

2. not to defend her ... but there is a difference between publishing a book
and printing a book.

RR Donnelley is a HUGE corporation.

However, i would think she could have specified that it be printed here, if she really gave a crap.
