"I hate this business. This fucking sucks."
GQ's piece on Joe Trippi (coming a day after Trippi resigned from DFA) contains this interesting tidbit:
His cell phone rings. It's his pollster, Paul Maslin, who not only has bleak news out of Iowa—but bleak news out of New Hampshire. Trippi hangs up and stares out the window.
His phone rings again. "WHAT? Aw, fuck. I hate this business. This fucking sucks. Okay, thanks." He hangs up. "They're robocalling our ones," he moans. Their "ones" are the Iowans they've identified as absolutely, positively Dean voters (though it would turn out that they were absolutely, positively wrong on the number). He has just gotten a report from the field that Dean "ones" are getting bombarded with computer-generated phone calls telling them to make sure to caucus for Dean—then giving them the wrong address.
Who would do such a thing?
"Kerry," he snaps. "They're the only asshole snake campaign that would do it." He sighs. "Every frickin' day now, I'm reminded of why I got out of this in the first place."
We need to find the proof.
