Another Way Mehlman Can Fund Raise / Give the Gift of Lunacy (great video!)
C-Log: Conservative Web Log ^ | June 8, 2005 AND June 29, 2005 | Mary Katharine Ham

I also caught Ken Mehlman on Fox and Friends this morning commenting on Howard Dean's most recent outburst.

Mehlman is so calm, collected, and above the fray it's almost ridiculous. Running the clip of Dean right before the mature, respectful response from Mehlman would be a great commercial for the RNC. Whether Democrats like it or not, Howard Dean is the DNC Chairman-- the face of the Democratic Party.

Ken Mehlman, thank goodness, is quite a different face to put forward. I say run the comments of the two back-to-back in a TV spot. Nothing dirty; you wouldn't even have to mention specific candidates or campaigns.

Howard Dean: "Republicans aren't very friendly to different kinds of people, they are a pretty monolithic party ... it's pretty much a white, Christian party."

Ken Mehlman: "A lot of folks who attended my Bar Mitzvah would be surprised...We gotta get ourselves beyond this point where when we disagree about politics, we call the other guy names."

Dean: "Well, Republicans I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."

Mehlman: "I'm not sure of the best way to win support in the red states is to insult the folks who live there. I think that a better approach might be to talk about the issues you're for."

Dean: "I think Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston, where he can serve his jail sentence down there courtesy of the Texas taxpayers."

Mehlman: "I think that was an unfortunate statement...I don't think it's our job as chairmen of either party to be prejudging people or to be calling for people to go to prison who haven't even been charged let alone convicted with anything."

Announcer: Each of the country's political parties chose one of these men to speak for it. Which one would you choose? To learn more about the Republican Party, its beliefs, and its candidates, log onto www.gop.com. The GOP: Speaking for ordinary Americans without screaming since 1854.

Dean: "YEEAAARRGGHHH!"

Mehlman: "I would respectfully disagree."

Announcer: This ad was paid for by the Republican National Committee.

Hey, maybe Trey Jackson could produce it! He's got all the footage, I'm sure.
