The Bridge Over the Lemon Fair
Peter Shumlin, You’re Confusing Me
Mr. Shumlin, you are confusing me. In tonight’s mail you sent me two large, glossy color cardboard mailings for your candidacy for Vermont governor. One mailing is a photo of a pouting little girl writing with her pencil. The slogan? “If Brian Dubie wins, she loses.” The other mailing from you? It’s a woman with a fiery stare and the words, “Brian Dubie thinks abortion should be illegal” and “Brian Dubie will endanger our freedom and our health.” Your shell game is shell-shocking, Mr. Shumlin. So, Mr. Shumlin, you claim that if PRO-LIFE candidate Brian Dubie wins, then young life “loses”? How can you as the pro-abortion candidate point the finger of endangerment to “health and freedom” to the pro-life candidate? With a straight face? There is nothing more protecting of young life than advocating that they get the chance to breathe air in the first place. All of this is about as inconsistent as your position on “saving” $40(M) million in tax dollars by early release of prisoners spending NEW tax money up front in order to do that, AND also spending $33M from the “savings of $40M to start early childhood education programs.

Shumlin Should Have Brought Ice Cream
Video: Vermont gubernatorial candidate Peter Shumlin (D) poorly executes his lame attempt at a surprise visit on the headquarters of challenger Brian Dubie (R) prior to a scheduled broadcast debate nearby. Swing and big miss for Shumlin but you be the judge. Notice Shumlin, flanked by rolling cameras (statewide TV news) and others in this obvious set-up intended to embarrass an unprepared challenger. Dubie was not at the location when Shumlin arrived with a box of central casting donuts. Also, notice the Dubie spokesperson who steps up and hits out the talking points and then hands the copy to Dubie’s challenger and then generously offers Shumlin some Dubie bumper stickers. She did everything but offer him a fresh diaper for the walk over to the debate. It looks like someone at Brian Dubie’s office got a heads-up call in order to have a video camera rolling and aiming at the door as Shumlin came it. Judging by the entourage of supporters and media, the parking lot activity was likely not difficult to notice from within the Dubie campaign office. Politics is a full-contact sport but Peter Shumlin played it like flag scrimmage.
