Arianna Needs Your Help!!!
Arianna for Governor/Arianna Against the Recall ^ | 10/14/03 | Califelephant

Posted on 10/14/2003 12:09:27 PM PDT by Califelephant

My wife (as a joke, and under the name "Muggs Polecat III") subscribed me to the email list for the Arianna campaign when Ms. Huffington jumped into the recall race a couple months ago.

Here's the email I received this morning. Evidently, she spent a more on her campaign than she took in. (Which is undoubtedly how she would have handled California's finances in the unlikely event of her election.)

I'm going to suggest she get some money from her buddy, Gay Davis. I've heard he was pretty good at raising campaign cash. Or maybe she can get Cruz to put in a good word for her with the Indian tribes -- maybe they'll help her out.

"Dear Muggs,

I am writing to ask for your help in retiring the debt accrued by Arianna Huffington's campaign.

Despite being severely underfunded, Arianna's run had a major impact on the just completed recall election.

Arianna consistently and effectively brought attention to a wide range of progressive issues, including renewable energy, universal health care, and the need to close outrageous corporate tax loopholes.

Most importantly, she succeeded in putting the media spotlight on the corrupting influence of special interest money on our democracy -- and put forth a viable solution to the problem when she filed her Clean Elections initiative, which, if enacted, will create a system of publicly financed campaigns.

In addition, Arianna used the platform of her campaign to effectively hammer home -- in speeches, TV appearances, and in the nationally televised debate -- the irrefutable connection between California's budget crisis and the failed economic policies of the Bush administration. She also laid out the many other ways the Bush White House has been waging war on the people of California, including contemptible attempts to rollback vital protections of our air and water.

And then, with the fate of the recall on the line, she unselfishly pulled out of a race she realized she couldn't win and devoted herself to tirelessly traveling up and down the state trying to stop the recall, Prop 54, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

All of this, of course, cost a great deal of money and has left Arianna's campaign facing a debt of $235,000. So I'm reaching out to you, and asking you to dig deep and contribute whatever you can to help pay off this financial obligation:

Thank you for your help.

Van Jones, esq. Grassroots and Political Director Arianna for Governor/Arianna Against the Recall"

Don't send her to Las Vegas, we are full up with " Ladies of the Night." I saw one in the Doctors office the other day of course she was Pregnant. They could not figure out if it should be treated under Workman's Comp. Or as an Industrial Accident.

Here's how Arianna can make the money back...

1) Invite Gary Coleman over to take some of it out on her in trade.

2) Sell it to pay-per-view as a Halloween Night Freakshow...

Come on, we can help. All we need is her address and we can ship her our used tires that she can sell in the local shopper.

Dear Arianna:

Have you ever considered the profitable and exciting life of a Las Vegas callgirl?

Sincerely,

Rich

Actually, if she kept her mouth shut, she should be able to garner at least $1K for a quickie. Since I don't travel in her circles, I may be underestimating the potential.

"She does need help, but not financial and certainly not mine!"

You are so right. She is as hooked on her self as Rush is on pain killers. No matter how big her house, her ego needs an expansion.

I wouldn't advocate denying her her say even if it did hurt conservatives.

Well in my OPINION, burning someone to death does at a minimum deny them their say (at least in this world). But since you have so correctly pointed out that this is only my OPINION, and since you imply that I was motivated by having thin skin, you are obviously right to be so easily offended.

I'm not offended in the least. The comment was tongue in cheek. Sorry if you don't get it.

Arianna rings like a bell through the night...well, actually it's screaching
She is a loud mouth and hypocrite...we're tired of her preaching
Irritating, that she is...like Streisand, Hillary or Cuomo
We feel sorry for her poor ex-husband, 'cause she turned him homo

Davis and his RATS will be gone but she is out to spoil it
Hey, Arnold, relive your movie scene...stuff her head in the toilet
Irritating, that she is...like Streisand, Hillary or Cuomo
We feel sorry for her poor ex-husband, 'cause she turned him homo
She had turned him homo

Arianna...Arianna...Arianna...Arianna

Where she has no business, she thinks there's something she must settle
Give her the chance and your SUV will soon become scrap metal
Irritating, that she is...like Streisand, Hillary or Cuomo
We feel sorry for her poor ex-husband, 'cause she turned him homo
She had turned him homo

Arianna...Arianna...Arianna

She's worse than hemorrhoids really burning
She's worse than hemorrhoids really burning
She's worse than hemorrhoids really burning

Everybody and their puppy dog gets that it was tongue and cheek--except to the self conceited left wing crusaders on a holy quest to lurk on FR in search of the legendary Archie Bunker and Frank Burn type characters in the real live world.

Tounge and cheek statements which jokingly promote violence give them the illusion of what they crave, and are used to muddy the water of political dialog. Thus they are not approriate.

Well I was disagreeing with your point of view. But now that you have shown you can insult me, I guess your right.
