The Man Has No Shame

Had
the Dowbrigade been one of the thousands of poor deluded Dean supporters who gave
record amounts to this moribund campaign last week after recieving an
email soliciting a financial refill
specifically for Wisconsin,
and flatly stating that Dean would drop out if he didn’t win that race,
we would be royally pissed, and considering a lawsuit for fraud and false advertising.
Or at least ask for my money back.

Turns out he really didn’t mean it, and intends to keep all the checks
that keep pouring in and slog on, regardless of how badly he gets stomped
next week – again. The man has no shame, in addition to being a glutton
for punishment.

We personally know people who sent in checks specifically because of
the promise to win or go home. That kind of clear do or die mentality
appeared to many who dispair of these fame-addicted pols who hang around
long after their welcome has faded.

One such tale from Scripting News:

We were talking about the money that Dean raised yesterday, Betsy
Devine volunteered that she had given money yesterday. She gave for two reasons.
I don’t remember the first, but I do remember the second. Dean said either
he wins in Wisconsin or he retires from the race. Betsy, an early Dean
supporter said it’s important that he bow out if he loses. Makes sense
to me. One last push, if it works, great, if not, that’s the end of the
fight.

The Dowbrigade feels sorry for all of those gullible innocents who were
taken in by a weak but well-intentioned man who, unfortunately, turned
out to be just another politician. We are still waiting for the One.
