DCCC calls tax delinquent, dog-pampering Melissa Gilbert a “top-tier” candidate

What do you call a candidate for Congress in MI-08 who owes $360,000 to the IRS; has a $112,000 tax lien in California; only recently moved to Michigan; and parades her dog around in colorful tutus, rhinestone encrusted shoes, designer Louis Vuitton collars, pearl necklaces and brags that it has its own stylist?  To most people, this is an out-of-touch actress by the name of Melissa Gilbert who loves living a lavish lifestyle.  To the DCCC, this is their idea of a ticket out of their historically small minority.

According to Roll Call, the DCCC considers Gilbert a “top-tier candidate” who makes “the chances of real change for Michigan’s hard working families go up dramatically.”  After you stop laughing and wipe up the coffee you just spit all over your keyboard, please take a minute to appreciate the absurdity of that statement.

Thanks for the laugh, DCCC.  You always make us smile. 🙂

NRCC Comment:  “If a tax delinquent like Melissa Gilbert, who parades her dog around in designer clothing and pearl necklaces is the DCCC’s idea of a top-tier candidate, then they should just pack up now and call it a day.  Michigan voters deserve a representative like Mike Bishop who is actually from Michigan and is focused on creating jobs, improving education and getting rid of burdensome regulations on small businesses.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
