they can't ever get anything right. i'm so glad they employ VO, because they're equally worthless.

Mike DeBonis:

Thanks for the VO jingle recording. Full disclosure: During the campaign, I contacted St. Nicholas Music, Inc., the ASCAP-listed administrator for the "Rudolph" song, in an attempt to save the sanity of DC radio listeners. I do not know if a "Cease and Desist" letter was issued, but broadcasts of the dratted jingle stopped.

Definitely reject the values of the Washington City Paper.

Read into LL's assessment of VO how you will. But the guy is a legendary schmoozer. Perhaps "politicking skills" would have been the better verbiage.

How can VO run without a jingle?

Mike, you're kidding, right? (Honestly, maybe this was meant as sarcasm.) But this is utterly moronic if it wasn't meant as a joke: "A national party committeeman spot would be a perfect perch for Orange to hone his already razor-sharp political skills while still drawing a nice private-sector paycheck." "razor-sharp political skills"?! This is a man that decided to give up his Council seat to run for Mayor. Yeah, you might have heard: Adrian Fenty won that election. By a lot. Vince finished fourth, with 3,000 votes out of 106,000 cast. Yep, those are razor-sharp political skills if I've ever seen them.

Reid, it's not just in DC. That's the way Democratic Party organizations work generally, including delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August.

Wait, the DC Democrats have spots on the board reserved by sex?!

That is ree-god-damn-diculous.
