Robert Stacy McCain, Master of the "Tip Jar" (*nudge-nudge, wink-wink, knowwutImean, knowwutImean?*) arrives at the posh El Cholo's restaurant in Santa Monica to meet with naïve California GOP Congressional Candidate Mattie Fein:
Unable to make contact with his usual cabal of what the gallant Democratic General Wesley Clark politely called "New York Money Men," Stacy McCain makes do with the materials at hand, cobbling up shady back room deals on smoke-filled Santa Monica streetcorners (no smoking in restaurants)...
Inside, top-notch California bloggers explain to Mattie Fein everything that is wrong with the CA Republican Party and running a GOP campaign there...
...and what it's gonna take to fix it...
...to the horror of Mattie's loyal campaign manager Alli...
...who quickly reassures the distraught candidate that they can get a low-cost Fannie Mae mortgage to take care of the problem and "Keep the bloggers sweet, if you know what I mean..."
