I have contacted the Republican Party of Minnesota for comment on this story. As a proud American of Penis Gourd Irish heritage (what? You think Sean is Italian?), I am obviously very concerned about these actions.
I’ll make sure to update you when they respond.


This site used to be interesting. What happened?

Sean picked up an interesting factoid.
It’s an example of what folks with a little too much time on their hands (and a broadband connection) do at work. Not too surprising, but the result is pretty unprofessional. The RPM apparently is behind on more than their contributions to the retirement funds of their employees. A little reminder of appropriate behavior for employees posting from a organization IP may be in order.
If the Wiki edits had originated from DFL IP space, MDE would have turned it into a nine part series. A few examples from the top nine posts:
#9 “Cheese Sandwiches - Will Al Franken Require All Americans to Eat Cheese? That is So French.”
#7 “Al Franken is The Half-Blood Prince” (sub-head “Neighbors Hear Al Speak Parseltongue While Taking Out Garbage”)
#5 “Al Franken Thinks Only One Graduate of the College of St. Scholastica is Less Than Scum”
#2 “Broilers - Top or Bottom? - Franken Doesn’t Want to Allow Americans the Ability to Choose”
And the top:
#1 “Franken Says Coleman Sports a “Penis Gourd””
(Hey, isn’t everyone Irish on St Pats Day?)
