That is absolutely, completely, 100% hilarious.

Quote:Earlier this year, dozens of voters accused YPM, which had been hired by the California Republican Party, of tricking them into registering as Republicans. The voters said they thought they were signing a petition calling for stiffer penalties for child molesters.
...
Jacoby was working for as a subcontractorâArno Political Consultantsâ duped them into signing an anti-gay marriage petition when they were told they were signing a ballot question about the sale of wine in grocery stores.
I applaud this young man's sang froid, his complete lack of respect for either basic standards of reasonable behaviour, or even his own safety from lawful imprisonment. Politics would be a much more entertaining game if all things like party registration and petition signing were actually elaborate, Dr. Evil-style overwrought schemes.
It still doesn't amount to a bucket in the ocean, but at least this time it's delightfully seasoned with schadenfreude.
