Remember actor, Kelsey Grammer of "Cheers" and "Frasier" TV fame?
Well, he's now the National Republican Senatorial Committee water carrier.
I just got an e-mail from Kelsey, warning me of the dire consequences if "Barack Obama and liberal Democrats" are allowed to sieze "total control of Washington."
My husband added me to the NRSC e-mail distribution list as a practical joke, to see if my head would explode on a regular basis. Most of the e-mails are innocuous, but this particular one, coming from a TV star, is just wow! It's not every day a celebrity's name appears in my InBox.
Here's the letter:
Friend--
This is not an easy time to be conservative. In 6 days we might wake up to read that Barack Obama and liberal Democrats have seized total control of Washington.
Take it from me. For 20 years, I played Dr. Frasier Crane on TV, and it is not easy being openly Republican in a Democrat town like Hollywood. But even when the odds are against us, we must never stop fighting for this country.
Will you help stop liberals from seizing total control of our government?
Barack Obama and his liberal allies claim to support the working man.
They want us to think they are all Joe and Jane Six Packs. But we all know -- that when they think no one is listening -- the liberal elite arrogantly snicker about the unwashed masses in fly-over country and suburbia.
They ridicule Sarah Palin...they laugh at Joe the Plumber...and they condescendingly refer to middle-class Americans as "bitter."
Will you help stop the liberal agenda?
America doesn't want Barack Obama and a rubberstamp liberal Senate to "spread the wealth around."
Regular people get it. The liberal agenda of bone-crushing tax hikes and out-of-control spending in the middle of an economic crisis is a disaster waiting to happen.
Will you join me in taking a stand against Barack Obama and the liberal agenda?
The 2008 election is one of the most important we'll ever live through.
With just 6 days until Election Day, time is running out to protect the firewall. So, we must move fast. Please contribute at least $30 today.
For all of us, there comes a time when the choices are so stark, the risks so great, that we have to take a stand.
Sincerely yours,
Kelsey
P.S. If you have contributed before, please do so again. A donation of $30 from you will make the difference between winning and losing in 1 or 2 key Senate races.
Geez.
What I find truly amazing? No mention of John McCain in the entire e-mail. Sarah Palin gets a plug, along with Joe the Plumber and Joe Six Pack, but not John McCain.
