Oh man! šÆ
Via the Politico:
A new entrant in the when-it-rains-it-pours category.
The Republican National Committee sent a fundraising mail piece earlier this month with a return number that leads to a phone-sex line offering “live, one-on-one talk with a nasty girl who will do anything you want for justĀ $2.99 per minute.”
At the bottom of a piece designed to resemble a census form, a toll-free number is listed next to the national party’s address.
A voter in Minnesota received the mailer and calledĀ the numberĀ intending toĀ complain aboutĀ the attempt to raise money with a form that looks like a government document.
But the Minnesotan was instead directed to a second toll-free number thatĀ greets callers as “sexy guy” before offering them the chance to talk with “real local students, housewives and working girls from all over the country.”
The individual then forwarded the mail piece to the voter’sĀ congressman, a Democrat, who shared it with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
A spokesman for the RNC declined to say how many copies of the census-style mailer were sent out.
Oh man, and this right on the heels of the thing with chairman Michael Steele no less. Ouch! š®
