Hilarious: Heckuva job, Liddy Dole!

Here's is a great op-ed by Derrick Jackson in the Boston Globe this morning that underscores the incompetance of Liddy Dole and gives me hope that the All-Seeing Eye of the GOP machine isnt actually that effective or accurate. He received a 'frameable certificate' from Dole & the NRSC praising him and his "remarkable support for the Republican Agenda". One small problem...dude is an outspoken Democrat who has never supported the Republican Agenda, let alone the NRSC.

Dear Senator Dole: I must respectfully decline your invitation

Some tidbits:

NO WONDER we never found weapons of mass destruction. The Republicans cannot even find Republicans!

I know this because I received a letter from Senator Elizabeth Dole, the National Republican Senatorial Committee chairwoman, to join the Republican Senatorial Inner Circle. Her letter praises me for my ''remarkable support of President Bush's agenda.

Along with a certificate for framing, the letter said I was in the ''top echelon" of only 100 people from Massachusetts who were extended this invitation on the circle's 25th anniversary. It said, ''Mr. Jackson, please know there are many strong Republicans in Massachusetts, but we cannot recognize them all. . . . President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Senate majority leader Frist, and the Republican members of the Senate are counting on you to answer this call and accept this well-deserved invitation."

Jackson is a LIBERAL columnist. More:

If someone at Republican headquarters twitched their fingers on a keyboard, they would have seen how ill-deserved this invitation was. If they had Googled me, they would have seen that the second reference to Derrick Z. Jackson is my 2003 column that said that despite the capture of Saddam Hussein, ''The invasion was still a lie." On the first results page there is also the column about Bush's speech at racist Bob Jones University and the headline, ''A disturbing lesson about the real George W." On the first page of references for Derrick Jackson sans the ''Z," Google has my 2004 column titled, ''Reagan's heart of darkness."

Im certain Liddy Dole has never used Google, and apparently her staffers havent either. More:

The Republicans talk about a big-tent party, but this is ridiculous. Even if this letter had come from a Democratic senatorial inner circle, it would have been laughable. I am a registered Democrat who often criticizes the party's wishy-washy capitulations. I wrote that President Clinton should have resigned over his lying and loss of moral authority in the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

But for the Republicans to offer me a $2,000 membership and have my name ''permanently etched on the Founders Wall in the Honors Courtyard of the Ronald Reagan Republican Center" after a column on Reagan's heart of darkness is a dazzling plummet to the depths of media literacy. We have long known that Bush himself does not read newspapers. But his lack of curiosity appears to have become an epidemic.

Anyway, I thought this was a simply adorable tale of incompetance. Read the rest, its pretty funny. A reminder, Dole & the NRCS are getting their asses kicked by the DSCC in terms of fundraising. The numbers are still great for Dems, as reported this morning in The Hill. I guess Dole should take a careful look at their mailing list before its too late...
