A little funny feed back from canvasing CA 50 for Nick Leibham 
And I am talking to a guy in Escondido in his 50's.


Just trying to get the guy engaged and have in my hand the handout piece which is showing the back which has a rather unflattering picture of the bad guy - Brian Bilbray.

The guy interrupts me and says - "hey I know that guy did he ever live in Imperial Beach"

So I start to explain that he was a congressman in that district but that he carpetbagged it up here and so on and the guy says "No no I recognize him - is that Brian Bilbray? He used to sell me all my weed - he had really good shit".

At another place (an elderly Republican woman) I left the piece in the door when no one answered and then ran back when she opened the door belatedly. She picked up the flier and again reading the backside read "Brian Bilbray voted with President Bush 90% of the time" and said oh I am sorry I will never vote for your guy if he votes with that crook. I explained the misunderstanding and she gave me a hug and said "finally we will put these crooks away!"


(and this stranger than fiction twist - the 21 year old volunteer staff coordinator from MD that was running the day ended up being the best friend to my best friend's son. My best friend now lives 3000 miles away and haven't seen him since we worked together in the refugee camps of south east asia 30 years ago - a one in a billion shot)

Stranger than fiction because it IS fiction. Three 1/2 bongs.

Why do the names Clinton and Wexler come to mind.

I'm afraid 3.5 bongs would be grievous grade inflation.
"So,"?  No
Bushes?  No
Cops?  Nope
Converting lifelong Repuke to democratic socialism?  Sorry

I don't believe this DUmmy deserves any bongs for this story.

It had a 'So', just didn't start with it.

2 bongs. A little more creative than most bouncies lately but still falls flat.
