So when I got home this evening, this was on my answering machine:

Hello Mr. Kelly. My name is David Kramer with Congressman Tom Reynolds and the National Republican Congress Committee in Washington. We wanted to recognize you with our National Leadership Award and I need to speak to you about a press release we want to send out.

Yeah, I've been a great Republican leader here at TalkLeft. I'm tempted to return David's call just to gloat about the change of leadership, but in the words of another famous Republican, "that would be wrong." And after Tuesday, it's easy to be generous of spirit.

Amusing thoughts about this NRCC fundraising scam (moving into desperation mode if they're calling me) can be found here, here and here.

As your links show, TChris, this particular fundraising scam was developed in Tom DeLay's office. (I think I've gotten about four of those calls over the last six years or so.) Not surprised to hear that he passed it on to a successor. Could never figure out how it differed from some of the wire fraud schemes that have landed some of my clients in the federal pokey for five to ten years.
