    Memo: Don't Lose Paperwork!

    To make clear, the memo below was fabricated

    The folks at California Democratic Majority have posted a memo they found in the Capitol from Karen Hanretty, GOP spokeswoman, to GOP Chair Duf Sundheim.

    I have attached the memo below:

    MEMO
    To: Chairman Sundheim
    Fr: Karen Hanretty
    Dt: October 20, 2005
    Re: Bush Visit Updated Talking Points (Please pin these to your coat)

    1) President Bush is not bringing any federal aid to California. Remember – NO mention of that “Collectinator” line!

    2) We are not pleased about this visit, it is “ill-timed”.

    3) Bush is welcome back after Thanksgiving – preferably when Arnold is in China.

    4) President Bush is taking needed money from California. (Face it, Duff. Without Arnold raking in the dough for us, the entire party apparatus would be whittled down to just you and me.)

    5) We need money to pay for our multitude of consultants – (Duff you saw the bill, Murphy’s tower ain’t cheap).

    6) Arnold owns California (remember Bush lost CA big in 2004).

    7) We only like good Republicans preferably Mike Murphy clients (McCain Good – Bush Bad).

    8) Arnold can’t be distracted by President and his big plane – Duff please stay focused on “reform”.

    9) Arnold can’t meet with Bush – Duff please throw out that “the Governor had a long standing commitment” line. That seems to work.

    10) Next time the press calls, just let Rob or I handle it.
