Quote of the Day: Jean Schmidt
Actually it was Friday — At the Bethel candidates’ forum, she got off what may be remembered as line of the campaign:
Schmidt said McEwen’s “true home is in Virginia.”
“I know, because I have been sending him Christmas cards there for the past 15 years,” Schmidt said.
And they haven’t been addressed c/o the Fairfax Station, Virginia Homeless Shelter?
(Let me guess: COAST will file an election complaint claiming
she’s only been sent cards the past 14 years; or that
the cards have been from both her and her husband,
not just her; or that the cards said “Happy Holidays”
and didn’t mention Christmas; or…..)

UPDATE, April 30: An e-mailer tells me that John Boehner got in on the act yesterday:
(Boehner said that) McEwen wanted him to endorse him again but
Boehner told him he was in Jean’s corner.His rationale?
She’s the incumbent, she won it fair and square, and
“she lives in the district.” Then he made a comment
about the whole residency flap and said, “All of us in
DC know where Bob lives because we see him.”It was great.
It’s over, Bob. Go home to Virginny. I know it’ll take some time for you to pack because you brought a whole lot of baggage with you last year when you bought the condo in Anderson. It’s that baggage that is sinking your campaign. You can’t flout voter registration laws, driver’s license laws and possibly state income tax laws and expect voters to accept you as a public servant who respects and obeys the law. It’s over. Go home. Jean’s gonna win, and you’re gonna lose your fourth straight election contest. Take a hint and focus on telling downline Amway people how to be successful. They might buy it.
