Doing My Part – Celebrate Utah's "Blue Bog Democrat" Rep. Jim Matheson – with a little more honesty

Posted By on August 14, 2009

So, the Utah Democratic Party sent out a little invite earlier today that was, how do I say it – kinda boring:

So – I decided to help them out by designing something a little more accurate and exciting:

    Bless you, Jeff!
    I cannot beleive that orignial message was sent out without a black ribbon to show our mourning.
    God, what a phoney jerk.

    If you’re printing these to spread the word, you may want to fix the typo of “unisured” on the “waffle stomp” line.

    Other than that, good on you for calling out BS where it lurks.

    Beautifully done. Matheson is a complete ass. (You were linked on Crooks and Liars, by the way.)

  5. Rick says:

    Matheson is a complete phony. I’ve supported him financially in the past – but no longer, he has abandonded any small shred of being a democrat.

    We voted for change in 2008 – obviously Matheson didn’t get the note.

    I hope you sent this back to the Utah democratic party, and to Jim Matheson. They might hire you for their publicity flyers, ya know.

    Nicely done.

    Completely agree. My husband and I have stopped donating to the Utah Democrats in disgust over their failure to stand up for, you know, actual liberal issues. The Blue Dogs are traitors, right along with the anti-American Republican nutjobs. The failures of the state party have been so immense since the last election that my family has now decided to send our resources to true Democratic candidates in other states.

    BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
    I know it is a serious topic but that poster design is killing me with hilarity.
