Breathy GOP robo-call says Thompson’s been a ‘bad boy’
Voters across California’s first congressional district picked up the phone this weekend to hear a breathy woman intone that “Mike Thompson’s been a bad boy.”
With a seductive voice more suited to an escort service than political outreach, the woman suggestively urges listeners to “vote ‘yesssss’ for Zane,” the Republican challenger to Thompson, a Democratic congressman…
Zane, of course, being Zane Starkewolf,
Thompson’s DOA Republican challenger
. Or is that “Green-Republican”? Anyway, it’s nice to see him put in an effort!
Read the whole thing
at the
Capitol Report
. Includes smoking hot audio! “Vote — uunnggh! Yes! — For Zane!”
You gotta register, but just go ahead and do that. Well worth it!
UPDATE:
What, you want substance? The robocall “spanks” Thompson over his votes on the bailout bill and the Patriot Act.
UPDATE 2:
Young Master Starkewolf
explains himself
at his own Web site. And posts audio!
UPDATE 3, Wednesday, Oct 29.

Alright already. The story makes it to
The Stump
and Sacto TV news…
This article appears in Don’t Toss the Coin.
Shades of John Jordan’s 1998 Gilbert & Sullivanesque campaign jingle: “Wes Chesbro! Wes Chesbro! He’s gone to Sacramento and he’s never coming back!”
What is it with these SoNapa would-be polito rich boys? When they try to do something um, “edgy,” it just comes off, well, *lame*…
Remember the PI the Jordan campaign hired to follow Chesbro’s wife? Except he followed the wrong person — a young woman renting a secondary unit at Chesbro’s house who reported to the police she was being stalked. When the cops picked the PI up, he said, “I’m not a stalker, I work for the Jordan campaign.” The press got ahold of it and soon it was on the front page of every newspaper in the district. Classic.
Remember how that ad had a little bouncing Chesbro head that skipped along the top of the lyrics?
Was it a vintage or late-period Chezz head? I remember it as the former — better scare potential — but I may be wrong.
It was a catchy tune, in a demented (or Demento) sort of way. “Wes Chesbro! Wes Chesbro!”
I’d take the Republican phone sex over the disembodied, bouncing Chesbro head but, alas, we don’t get to choose.
I got the creepy call and it creeped me out. Not much can do that to me.
They played the message on The Howard Stern Show this morning. Got a big laugh from everyone.
It also hit the Rachel Maddow Show. last night.
