I know. I saw it on the internets.

Northup’s campaign sent out the email blast below dogging LEO’s Stephen George, conveniently forgetting that his paper has like 300,000 readers:

Stephen himself summarizes things better than we can:

I’m beaming with pride: Today, the Anne Northup for Congress campaign sent out an e-mail urging Louisvillians to sign her “Lower Gas Louisville” petition — and used my editor’s note from today’s paper to rile up the masses.

Referring to LEO Weekly as “Yarmuth Weekly” — people, John Yarmuth sold LEO in 2003 and has written one guest column for the newspaper since declaring a run for Congress in early 2006 — the Northup mailer called my piece a “vulgar, rage filled editorial — better yet, a temper tantrum.” Hm. I actually thought my piece contained some decent humor, but hey, when you’re 17 points down in the polls in the district you represented for a decade, the sense of humor level can get a little low.

-SNIP-

Oh, and they close by calling my request for a serious energy policy from Northup and a broader discussion of actual energy policy a “liberal, elitist, do-nothing view on energy.” And a petition urging Congress to help lower gas prices is what again? Policy?

JEEEZ! Who is calling the shots in Anneland?

Go read the rest of what Stephen has to say. (Rick also has a take.) Pay close attention as you watch the remainder of the Northup campaign continue fall apart.
