Fighting MikeK $49 At A Time

Another the title “Penny Wise and Pound Foolish,” Linda Cook circulated the following e-mail to presumably local Republican women (the names were deleted from the e-mail copy I received), calling on them to contribute money to City Council wannabe Jim Brannon and oust incumbent Mike Kennedy:

“Ladies, I am helping Jim Brannon in his quest to oust Mike Kennedy on the Cda city council.  I know many of you do not live in Cda but I am still seeking your financial support to stop the ambitious Mr. Kennedy before his plans for higher office make him too expensive to stop. Jim Brannon is principled and feisty and we need him in Coeur d’Alene to bring accountability and transparency to city government.  The deal gets sweeter if we can stop Mike Kennedy before he builds more personal power. Simply go to jimbrannon.com and donate. $49 will keep you from having to be named on the Sunshine Report (I know it’s a small town and sometimes discretions is best) but if you can give more it is truly going to make Cda a far better place. Thanks so much for considering this.”

Question: Izzit just me, or does that line re: contributing $49 somehow undercut the preaching re: “accountability and transparency”?
