Steve Kagen’s “Sleaze” Peddler

Steve Kagen’s hired a self-admitted sleaze peddler to do his direct mail in the upcoming cycle. In 2006, DCCC and Kagen used The Campaign Network to do its mail box dirty work (though it’s very high quality dirty work - these folks have a shelf of Pollies), including a piece illustrating John Gard with a Pinnochio nose. The Daily Show with John Stewart interviewed TCN’s team shortly after the 2006 election on its “Dirty Jobs” segment. You can watch the hilarious video here.
GOP3’s Northwoods correspondents report that the head of TCN has been up in the 8th recently, attending community events with Cong. Kagen and getting photo material for the campaign ahead. Expect to see more of the same from a premier Democratic attack firm.

What?
I could have sworn that only John Gard ran a nasty sleaze campaign in 2006.
Please, the worst ads this year are going to come from Kagen. He’s going to have more money and he’s going to be doubly desperate.

At least Kagen’s ads did not outright lie like Gard and his “Kagen does not take Medicare patients” Is this the worst you can do? Kevin must be getting really desperate.

John,
No one has ever disproved that charge. The charge was Kagen picked and chose which Medicare patients he saw.
Your defense is the only thing that sounds desperate here.
