| Last week, I got Postage-Stamp Paulsen's latest "prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense" mailer; his mailer sent out just prior to the Associated Press review of the costs of said mailers. And that review got Paulsen's name in print not only in a Strib Letter To The Editor, but across this great country - from the Baltimore Sun to the Witchia Eagle to the Las Vegas Review-Journal to the.... well, a LOT of places.
To recap: Paulsen, last year, spent more dough on mailers, etc, than all but two other CongressCritters. All but two. Paulsen spent more dough than 432 CongressCritters. Paulsen, last year, spent $413,996.12.
Way to go, Erik! You're Number Three!!!
So, how does Postage-Stamp Paulsen react to all the bad press last week, for wasting so much dough?
By - of course - sending out ANOTHER MAILER!!!
Yep - there it was, in the mailbox today:
"Your voice is needed on health care reform"
And - of course - in smaller print:
"This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense."
But, this one was new:
"The cost of producing, preparing and printing this piece is less than the cost of a postage stamp."
Say, Erik? Those postage stamps add up; last year you totaled $413,996.12.
And all those postage stamps add up to:
"Postage-Stamp Paulsen" |
