Afternoon RBB, All....

....Worked at the Republican headquarters and this was playing on the Fox news channel just as I entered the building to begin my calls.

We are having a special election here in the 37th election district of Delaware’s Sussex county here in the swamps of Delaware. I think I mentioned this on a thread earlier this month. I am in this district and our Repub fellow one to state Senator and now we need a special election to election a new representative...his job.

And as these things go with me, what with being a sort of a nobody here in Sussex county but EVERYONE KNOWS ME....well it’s a long story. But this is how those things go....I don’t make it up.

So they ask me to call folks to remind about this special election. Well I’d never done this before and since McCain I’ve been mad at the Repub party. Like many of you folk, I suspect, I have a love/hate relationship with the pubs, hoping that they’ll grow something between the legs but still they are all we have. Here in Delaware, what with two special elections, go with me folks, the Democrats are DYING a slow death.

The pubs are running off with it all is what I’m saying not that they had to do anything but get out of the tanning booth. Still I agreed to volunteer because I do believe a sweet win bloweth because of Obamer fallout and soon the win will blow in NJ, Penna and Va.

So this nice lady comes by my desk as I am setting up. Well with this Glen Beck thing he now speaks off all on the Fox news channel right over my head I began a tirade of monumental, epic and magnificent proportions.

I praised the fellow who called OBamer a liar, stating loudly right in Republican headquarters that the pubs need to grow something tween the legs. I carried on over this ACORN thing and the nice lady told me about a big ACORN group right around the corner in Georgetown helping the Demo. guy win this special election. This is a HUGE election folks, if the pubs don’t hold on to this seat Delaware Dems will have a “supermajority” and will control the state.

I expressed shock at the ACORN thing in my own yard than moved on to Obamer’s lying speech, listing the lies and in general gabbing and chewing on her ear and hey, I didn’t know who the hell she was but we chatted with a passion for a half an hour.

Finally I turn to my job at hand and I’m ready. I look at the campaign brochure of the candidate to get the “talking points” and the picture on the thing looks very familiar.

Heh.

It was....TADA...RUTH BRIGGS KING....the CANDIDATE!!!!!!

You know I can’t make this stuff up. Behind me I hear a man’s voice say to somebody that he is the husband of Ruth Briggs King and I suddenly realize that I just bent the ear of the pub candidate and come on....how often do we get a chance like this....even if we are totally unaware of it?

I manned the phones for four hours and go with me ladies and gems, I talked holes through their brains, yes I did.

I bet I pulled in over a hundred votes with my passion and, ahem, my gift of gab. If they asked me if King was against paying for abortion with public funds I told them indeed she was even though I knew no such thing.

It was a great day.

And all true. Cause I could not make it up.
