Peter Brown's Amusing Email

I got this last night from Peter Brown's campaign. Right off the bat, it got a laugh out of me. Who would be dumb enough to give to Brown's campaign at this point when it's clear he's got an unlimited ability to self (wife) finance? Then the load of b.s. hit me in the face. I've corrected the email  - in blue - so that it makes more sense:

Friends,

On Tuesday, Peter told you about a new poll showing us in the lead. Hard work pays off, as does the ability to tap into his wife's unlimited fortune! But our opponents are getting desperate. For weeks, they’ve been launching angry vicious personal attacks. Fortunately, Peter has not done the same. That negative attack mailer Brad Olson claims Peter sent out where we made up stuff? DID NOT HAPPEN. That's the liberal media for you. Can't trust 'em. Oh, uh, unless you are a liberal voter, be assured Peter reads the New York Times! Ten times a day, even! Now they’re taking their misleading negative attacks to the next level. They are even trotting out Bill White who is calling Peter Brown a liar! Wow, our popular incumbent mayor thinks he  caught Peter lying about what happened in City Council. That is simply not true! He was asleep. We need your support and we need your time. Please contribute so we can respond with hay rides to the first 12 donors!

We’re only five days from the election, we’re in the lead, and they’re willing to do whatever it takes, including putting up a tacky poll asking if Peter is utterly confused or deliberately deceptive. But momentum continues to build behind our campaign to make Houston even better. In the last few days we’ve received additional endorsements, including the Mexican American Sheriff’s Organization and the Houston Education Support Personnel Union. And,when we don't think we have enough endorsements, we make them up, like we did with that one black minister. So, never fear, we will always have a long supporter list! Will you join them in supporting our campaign to make Houston even better?

Peter’s opponents see the writing on the wall. They know they can’t match his spry, 72-year old vision, his experience, or record of results, especially the results he makes up. So they’re trying to mislead voters. Let me just stop right here and say again, Peter Brown is not misleading voters! Bill White is a big, fat liar.  But we know it’s not going to work, thanks to supporters like you, and all the other supporters we've made up. We’ve worked hard, we’ve worked smart, and we've tapped into Peter's wife's vast fortune. Now, let’s finish strong.

Thanks for everything,
Lucinda
