Republicans are apparently clueless

You can’t make stuff like this up! I was getting phone messages when I got a beep for a second incoming call. It was a robocall about Sarah Palin visiting Erie on Thursday. (Um, I have been a registered Democrat since I was 18.)

After hanging up the phone,  I got another call from Erie Republican HQ asking me if I wanted to volunteer at the Sarah Palin rally. Actually, what they asked was if I or my husband wanted to volunteer. “Oh, sorry, I meant wife!”, the well meaning but obviously clueless woman calling me said. (Silently thought, “You were closer to being correct the first time, although I am single.”) “Um, I’m gay and the webmaster for the Erie County Democratic Party, so maybe not so much for doing that.” was my response. (I.e. I was being polite but, seriously, WTF!!!)

Deb happened to be over, working on photos from the candidate forum, and she said something about this certainly being good for blog fodder.

    Helllo Michael-
    Just wandered over from Toni’s blog. Loving your commentary throughout the blog and astounded by the restraint you showed with the Erie Republican HQ.
