Convicted Phone Jammer now teaching @ GOP Campaign School
UNBELIEVABLE!

Lead figure in phone jam to advise GOP contenders
Charles McGee back to work after prison

A
major figure in the Election Day phone-jamming scandal that embarrassed and nearly bankrupted the New Hampshire GOP is out of prison and back in the political game.

Charles McGee, the former executive director of the state Republican Party, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and served seven months for his part in the scheme to have a telemarketer tie up Democratic and union phone lines in 2002.

He's back at his old job with a Republican political marketing firm, Spectrum Monthly & Printing Inc., and will be helping out at the firm's "GOP campaign school" for candidates.
Richard Pease, the firm's co-president, said McGee would be available to advise candidates at the two-day event, planned for next weekend in Manchester. McGee's role at the school was reported Thursday by the New Hampshire Union Leader.

1. The GOP eager to employ crooks...
...I'm less than shocked. Although I am curious, please tell me this crooked fuck is no longer allowed to vote...right? Or does that only apply to felons who might vote other than GOP?

4. This is the stuff promotions are made of
In his job interview he made points by answering
'would consider having sex with animals to get
ahead'

This IS who is running the country.

5. Exactly, the next thing we hear he'll receive a medal of freedom.
They are despicable low life criminals making personal gain on the misfortunes of others.

6. But if this were a *dem*...
Just ponder the degree of right-winger blogosphere outrage...
to say nothing of all the relentless msm pod-people tongue clucking that would assuredly ensue..

8. Its called strategerie
Dems should have their own version of Karl Rove, except
a good guy.

Dems need to have a school of Strategerie - we had our own
"good" version or "white hat" version of Karl Rove in NC,
and I would love it if he would teach school for Dems.

It's not enough to be decent, progressive and have good ideas,
you have to be able to get in power to enact them.
