Name ID … At Any Price

So this pink Post-It note was discovered on a gas pump in Charleston, S.C. by one of our intrepid readers … the latest manifestation of increasingly informal efforts by insurgent political campaigns (and their supporters) to pick up cheap name identification against well-funded rivals. “Who is Lee Bright?” the Post-It…

So this pink Post-It note was discovered on a gas pump in Charleston, S.C. by one of our intrepid readers … the latest manifestation of increasingly informal efforts by insurgent political campaigns (and their supporters) to pick up cheap name identification against well-funded rivals.

“Who is Lee Bright?” the Post-It asks.

Obviously we know who Lee Bright is … heck, we filed a report on him a few moments ago.

 

Bright is a State Senator running in a “Republican” primary against U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham.

(Wait … did we just fall for the oldest trick in the book?)

Curse you, random Lee Bright supporter!

Obviously most South Carolinians do not know who Bright is – which is why his supporters are engaging in asymmetrical adhesive warfare on our state’s gas pumps in an effort to drive traffic to his website. And if Bright’s fundraising efforts don’t pick up (and soon), there’s a good chance most South Carolinians will never know who he is.

Unless he’s got a LOT of pink Post-Its …

He is an imbecile who is in way over his head. He is unfit to serve as a US Senator. It is an embarrassment that he serves in the Senate of SC. This post-it note effort is pathetic.

They would have been better to leave off the web address. As soon as I see its someone for Senate, I immediately quit giving a shit who he is.

Which reminds me of this one —

======================

Milo Moroni decided to run for political office, and was told he needed to hire a press agent. So he hired one at $500 per week. The first week, no press at all. Milo called his agent and said, “What’s happening?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Two more weeks go by, and a $1,000 more, and no press. Milo is pretty mad. He called his agent and said, “Hey, what’s happening here?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Five weeks go by, $2,500 down the drain and not a thing to show for it. Milo was so mortified and angry that he went down to his office, barged right in, and said, “What’s happening? What’ve I got to show for my $2,500?”

He said, “They’re talking about ya, baby, they’re talking about ya.”

Milo said, “Oh, yeah? So what’re they saying?”

He said, “They’re saying, “Whatever happened to Milo Moroni?”

Wasn’t there a candidate who needed name recognition and had bumper stickers printed that read – “IMPEACH ___________”….?
