I am in receipt of an email from Nancy Pelosi. She is, she says, absolutely irate about what happened in Wisconsin, and would Iike me to help her do something about it. Specifically, she would like me to hand over some cash to the Rapid Response Fund, another name for the DCCC, apparently.
The email is short on specifics about the nature of the intended response, nor does it explain how it can be rapid, considering that the Wisconsin events began some time ago. Nor is it clear why money is needed more than the voices of some Washington Democrats raised in actual response to the lies spread about state workers by the Republicans and the media.
It would seem after all, that for a very small amount of money, Congressional Democrats and Obama could have rapidly responded rhetorically, preferably in both Washington and Madison. Why isn’t Nancy in this crowd, or Obama addressing it?
Alas, their most vigorous response comes in the form of an outreached hand. As always, the Republicans are far more proficient in cynically draining the funds of their supporters, but, in this case at least, it’s not for the Democrats lack of trying.
