The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight, Part Deux

UPDATE

The site now includes a link to candidate info and a list of their contributors., but only those who gave less than $300. I guess they are reading this blog. They will probably have a more complete list by the end of the day.

Need a laugh? Check out the new and improved Monmouth Democratic Party website

Is Vic a candidate? One would think so. But the narrative quickly invites you to "visit each link where you will find information on our Surrogate Candidate - Beverly Bova-Scarano, our Freeholder Candidates - Barbara McMorrow and Greg Gibadlo..." Well, I visited the links, and couldn't find any info on the candidates.

Their press release section is very amusing. After reading the release dated today with the headline "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics " I was left wondering if that headline was intended to be an accurate description of the release. The release starts with the assertion that "Wheeling" is not taking out of county money, because a first year political science student would know that. Huh? I think these folks could benefit from a conversation with a Brookdale or Monmouth Freshman.

The release goes on..."The Republicans think that by simply mentioning the name “Lynch” that they can point the finger at the Democrats and distract voters from the real issues in this election. What they want is the press and the people to forget about the fact that the Monmouth County Democrats, as an organization, did not take one dime from Lynch and in fact gave the Monmouth County Republican Committee $400 – and that both of these facts are easily proven by simply checking the ELEC website

OK, maybe the organization didn't take a dime from Lynch, but candidates on both sides did. That money should be donated to charity.

I looked all through the Monmouth County Dems ELEC reports, even the ones they forgot to file on time, and I can't find where the Monmouth County Dems gave the Monmouth County GOP $400. Can someone find it for me? I know, I'm being picky. Shame on me for reading what you said, instead of what you meant to say. That only works in marriage.

My nomination for the best gaffe on the site goes to the press release announcing the Superhighway to Ethical Reform:

2)Full disclosure on the Monmouth Dems website, www.monmouthdems.com of all campaign contributions, even those under the $300 reporting threshold.

OK, where is it? Can someone find it for me?

Our fine Chairman, Adam Puharic, pledged in his Ethical Roadmap to post the Monmouth GOP ELEC reports on the party's website. There is it, you can't miss it.

As Dem Surrogate candidate Beverly Scarano was quoted as saying in one of the releases, "Saying that things will change has never worked in the past..."

What's your favorite gaffe?
