Open Letter To Betty McCollum

To: Rep. Betty McCollum

From: Mitc Berg, peasant in your realm

Re: Campaign

Rep. McCollum,

You’ve been in office for ten years, winning most years by huge margins.  Of course, this past few cycles have been great years for Democrats everywhere – so here in the Fourth District, it’s been just ludicrous; you’ve won by the same margin Brezhnev got in the 1970 Soviet elections.

And you’ve developed a bit of a reputation for dodging debates.  The rumor has it that it’s because you’re just not able of holding your own against anyone past about sixth grade.   But in a normal year, that’s OK – this is the Fourth District. In a normal year, the Fourth District DFL could endorse Ed Gein, Crispin Glover or a bag of Snausages and get 55% of the vote.

But this isn’t a normal year.  The GOP has a tail wind this year; you might not be a walkon this year.  Teresa Collette won endorsement with a pretty good head of steam.

So here’s the question; are you going to scamper like a scared kitten away from a debate and hide behind your friends in the media again?

That is all.

  1. BIG GOVERNMENT BETTY, BIG GOVERNMENT BETTY, BIG GOVERNMENT BETTY, BIG GOVERNMENT BETTY, repeat.

  2. It looks like Paulsen’s “opponent” only has 25K COH according to MNDemocratsExposed. I will be helping her out as much as I possibly can

  3. If they debate, I wonder if Betty is going to refer to her opponent as a “teabagger”. Wouldn’t that cause some awkward silience.

  4. Master of None said:

    “I thought it was “bamalam””

    I think it was, though it may be appropriate to modify it for Representative McCollum in homage to “ramalama dingdong”. *shrug*

  5. I will be helping her out as much as I possibly can

    I’m confused; you’ll be helping the DFLer?

  6. are my posts showing? Stupid Google Chrome…

    It wasn’t Chrome – it was the post. Not sure why, but two of yours wound up in the Spam queue (not even the modqueue). Not sure why. But I caught ’em and approved ’em – they should be showing now.

  7. Ah, I got it when I found your other post in the spamqueue. Yeah, Paulsen and Kline are looking safe as can be; Bachmann too, I suspect, although they’ll put on a big show.

    There’ll be a post to follow, here.

  8. If the old saying went along the lines that the only way an established politician could lose was to be caught in the sack with a live boy or dead girl, what could possibly get brain-dead Betty out?

  9. In today’s DFL, if she got caught in the sack with a live girl, her alternative lifestyle would be applauded.

  10. If a Democrat gets caught in the sack with a dead person, male or female, it’s called ‘voter outreach’.
