Dems Unveil 08 Message, “You’re Fat”

Posted on February 14, 2006

THE DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an email sent Monday evening by Democratic National Committee (DNC) research director Devorah Adler that contains ten opposition research packets on potential 2008 GOP presidential contenders.

In one packet titled “Newt Gingrich: 08 Watch February 2006” a picture of the former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) appears with — him holding two full plates of food!

The quote underneath the Gingrich photo reads “In His Own Words: Gingrich’s Solution To Childhood Obesity: ‘Turn off the TV, cut the fatty diet and get exercise.’ [AP, 2/8/06]”

The ten Republicans picked by the Democrat Party include: Sen. George Allen (R-VA), Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN), Gingrich, Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY), Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE), Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR), Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Gov. George Pataki (R-NY) and Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA).

One Republican strategist who had seen the opposition research packets said: ‘We should expect nothing less then name-calling and referring to one’s political opponents as ‘fat’ from Howard Dean’s Democrat Party.’

Developing…

What a message! They are sure to win with this one! ;) I’m sure Teddy Kennedy can show us a good diet plan.

    We should all be thin enough to fit through the window of a submerged oldsmobile. It’ll be called the Chivas Regal diet.

    That national Democrats actually consider George Pataki to be a viable GOP presidential contendere shows just how out of touch with reality they really are.

    Republicans will be attacked because they are fat huh? Thats good news, suppose they found out most Republicans liked work, believed in God, loved their children, were successful, tended to be happy, etc..

    I would rather they attack us about being fat than learn some of our secrets to happiness. Shhhhh! A happy Democrat is an oxymoron and just no fun at all. Can you imagine if Hillary were lovable or Gore were sane? What a disagreeable thought on Valentine’s Day.

    This is the same Devorah Adler who created the slimy opposition research packet on Samuel Alito. Obviously, she’s not very good at her job.

    Sensible Mom, thanks for pointing out the Justice Alito connection.
    Can you imagine the job application for DNC Research Director?

    1) Do you promise to bend, fold, staple, and mutilate the truth in furthering the downfall of President Bush, the Republicans, and America? Yes___ No___

    2) Do you promise to consult with the leaders of the Democrat party and follow their leadership in slanting and distorting your research findings? Yes___ No___

    3) Can you unlatch a seatbelt and swim to the surface of a canal in total darkness, and then claim you were alone and that a pickup with an NRA sticker ran you off the road? Yes___ No ___

    Any no answer disqualifies the applicant.

    An equally accurate picture would show Ted Kennedy holding two whiskey bottles and Slick Willy with an intern on his lap.
