Dean: "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

The DNC must be having a worse fundraising year than I thought. They're resorting to direct email soliciting donations for a single billboard:

If you contribute now the billboard can be up next week.

They're hoping to raise enough money for more billboards as well. It's a brilliant, albeit infantile, move for the Dems. Since Republicans can't debate a billboard, facts and reality can't taint the Democrat's message.

As for the billboard, besides having the usual distorted and hypocritical slant that is the hallmark of most Democratic advertising nowadays, it's childish. I know, folks on the right have done this kind of thing as well, mostly during local elections.

It's still childish.
