We Got Our Valentine from the RNC
Wow. How sweet! We didn’t even know they cared. The Republican National Committee (RNC) has launched an e-Valentine’s Day card website where you can send a card, adorned with the faces of people who certainly aren’t the RNC’s sweethearts and carrying what passes for Republican humor messages.
But it’s not the ham-handed, obscure and plain scratch-your-head messages that got our attention. Not even the—ummm, interesting—photo retouching. Nope, it’s the RNC press release that includes three examples of the cards. We know what the RNC thinks of President Obama and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. But it’s heartwarming to know that they included our own AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka with Obama and Pelosi. That’s some good company. Thanks, folks!
STEELING a Union’s ID
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has been called a lot of names. Here’s another one for him: cheater.
It’s not surprising Steele and the Republicans are embarrassed about their party. But Steele has hit a new low (insert Munch’s “Scream” here): He’s set up an RNC fundraising page on Facebook made to look like it’s the United Steelworkers union.
The “United STEELE Workers Union” page even features a hard hat with an American flag sticker front and center.
Just curious, Michael: Doesn’t a white hard hat clash with your designer suits?
