Politics is about a sweet combination of dirty tricks and hitting the other guy harder than he hit you. Nobody on the campaign trail is better at that than Terry McAuliffe, chairman of Hillary’s campaign.
A couple of weeks ago Terry appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews. At the same time, David Plouffe from my campaign was about to be interviewed by NBC’s Nora O’Donnell. David saw Terry in the studio and knew that as soon as he was done he would head to the bathroom. Terry is tough but he has a weak bladder. I’m always amazed at the political intel we can dig up on opponents.
David grabbed a few of those little catsup and mustard packets from the snack trays and quickly headed into the studio’s rest rooms. He opened each one just a little on the end, then folded the packets half way, but not enough to squirt out any catsup or mustard. Then he placed a couple of them under each toilet seat.
The idea is simple. When Terry sat down on the toilet the packets squirted catsup and mustard all over his pants. While Terry was trying to clean the mess off his pants, David yelled out to security, “Hey, there’s some pervert with his pants down in the rest room.”
Politics can also be fun.
