Pandering from the bottom of her heart

Click here to view the flierA little harsh? Maybe. But, talking about the importance of being a woman in a political campaign is one thing. Printing materials with hearts for bullets is another. Yuck.
This comes from Louisiana State Senate candidate Yvonne Dorsey. It’s accompanied by a letter, and parts of it read like an episode of the Tyra Banks show. The worst part is, she’s got a strong record that gets lost in hokey language like this:

“I’m wonderful friends with all of the Senators (many of whom are endorsing me) and I love them like brothers (and sisters), but the Senate is still basically a smoky men’s club and needs a woman’s touch.�

Not quite the same as this:

“This is a historic moment — for the Congress, and for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited more than 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren’t just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and granddaughters, today, we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters, the sky is the limit, anything is possible for them.”

I’m just saying. But really it’s the hearts that get me. Did I mention yuck? I wonder if she thought to send it on perfumed stationery?
Many thanks to Sunshine for being from Louisiana and scanning this stuff for me.
