News Bubba McDonald fundraiser invitation is hilarious
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 9:01 PM
Public Service Commission Republican nominee Lauren "Bubba" McDonald just can't seem to catch a break.
After a narrow July 15 primary win over energy consultant Pam Davidson and a nail-bitin' General Election that must be decided in a Dec. 2 runoff, McDonald now has to attend a big-name fundraiser at Atlanta law firm Hall Booth Smith & Slover that promises the Bubba we know so well will do outlandish and wacky things. Like pursue renewable energy if he gets elected! The gall of these political patrons!
From a fundraiser invitation slipped to us by a tipster:
Friends,I know this election season has been very, very long and folks have gotten inundated with calls, letters, emails, etc., but I'd like to reach out to y'all for this run-off race which will be watched all over the country and urge you to get back out and vote for Saxby and Bubba on Dec. 2nd or by Early or Absentee ballot. A Saxby win will allow the Republicans to at least have a voice in Washington DC and a Bubba win will be bring us one step closer to Energy Independence with his focus on biomass, clean coal, and nuclear energy.
On behalf of the Governor, Lt. Governor, Speaker, the Republican members of the Public Service Commission, Sen. David Shafer (Chairman of the Senate Regulated Industries & Utilities Committee), Rep. Mike Jacobs, and our terrific Host Committee, I would like to invite you to the following Reception (please print the attached .pdf invitation for directions and campaign contribution info):
Please join Governor Sonny Perdue, Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, Speaker Glenn Richardson, Chmn. Chuck Eaton, Comm. Stan Wise, Comm. Doug Everett, Sen. David Shafer, and the members of the Host Committee at a Campaign Fundraiser for Lauren "Bubba" McDonald, Jr.

Let it be noted that McDonald's campaign contribution list reads like a summit gathering of powerful utility lobbyists and lawyers. Biomass was — and still is — one of the issues Jim Powell, a 35-year veteran of the U.S. Department of Energy and McDonald's Democratic opponent in the runoff, has pushed the hardest.
