Things are looking pretty rough in Republican fundraising circles these days...except for an elite group of operatives who accept campaign contributions in the only denomination that still holds its value in the global market: human feces.
A billion-word article in the New York Times details the dull and predictable life of Oklahoma Congressman Tom Cole, the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, who is cursed with asking Republican donors for money this year. But wait, what's this?
Many conservative activists have become so dissatisfied with the party's heresies, particularly on immigration and government spending, that as Cole's staff took over, the committee's fund-raising pleas were being ignored and, on at least one occasion, returned in an envelope stuffed with feces.
Yes, it's true! The NRCC is now accepting donations of human excrement in lieu of the sinking dollar. We are sorry for all the people in the mail room.

Najeh Davenport is not fucking happy with the growth of the federal bureaucracy.
Can someone lick this envelope for me please?
...doesn't this fall under any campaign finance laws. Or can send them as much SHIT as I want?
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Awesome. I'm always complaining about the lack of Najeh Davenport poop jokes in the media. Thanks for fixing that!
I'd mail the NRCC a box of feces, too, but then again I'm not a Repube.
The NRCC shouldn't pooh pooh Fecal donations. Dried Feces makes a good firewood substitute on those days when you can't pay your heating bill or afford chords of chopped wood. Funny enough those days now seem to be every day at the NRCC.
Wouldn't it be great if McCain picked a pro-choice VP? Then we can watch the entire religious right commit mass hari-kari.
Clearly the NRCC has been SHIT ON BY PROFESSIONALS!!!
I hope it was a business reply mail envelop and weighed quite a lot.
The only person who can shit on a conservative, is another conservative. Clearly once again they have the upper hand.
Is that "Cole," as in, "E. coli"?
Send an envelope of feces to Dave Vitter and you will get a thank you note.
In lieu of balloons, the RNC will drop flaming bags of shit when McCain takes the stage at the convention.
reminds me of that saying about databases: garbage in, garbage out. In this case, feces in, mccain out
Thanks to the current administration's economic policies, the dollar is worth shit these days.
Clearly this is the work of the Shitting Bandit. Or, given the hatefuckfest between Walnuts and Mittens, perhaps this is a gift from Romney's dog Shittens.
Be sure to tune in next week for another episode of "How Stuff Works," with your host, Senator Ted Stevens.
Since it was Republican feces, it was probably a blood streaked log chunked up with boiled peanuts and sunflower seeds.
Well, they are full of shit, right?
A volunteer collecting from the party's Chairman.

...the sad thing is that at the pace the economy is nose diving shit might actually be worth more than money pretty soon. In which case everything that comes out of "W's" mouth will be worth a fortune!
I'm so happy that an Okie Repug is getting his just desserts. Too bad Inhofe isn't Chairman of the NRCC. I'd send him many, many turds. Maybe I will anyway, just for kicks... Hell, this could become the new, hip pastime for demented Wonketteers!
I hear Larry Craig is "taking donations" too.
Oh, crap. My addressing mistake, whoops! Now I'm not going to find out what my parasite is.
And medicaltestinglab.com is gonna wonder why the hell I sent them a $25 check made out to RNC.
@superdave:
@bill_tx:
Memes, meet shark. Now jump.
@WadISay: Good one.
Wait, you can actually send feces? But if I send say, a chemistry set I have to slap all these warning labels on it?
Well, no more my friends!
@superdave: YEAH!!!! I've been waiting for that to return!
Reading this makes me wish Rick Santorum was back in office.
Just another loyal Republicist giving their party "a piece of their mind."
Y'know, I'm not worried about the Democrat party's epic infighting. Because the other guys are burning their own house down. Both are spectacular.
@EthnicRedneck: I see what you did there.
I aint giving them SHIT!
Was the shit outsourced from Mexico or China?
I learned sumthin about shit here on the farm. Shit in the barb is a liability. but shovel it up and put it in a sack and I can git 2 bucks a bag as organic fertilizer (goat shit that is). This report of envelopes of dung suggests that some conservative has made the same connection, but is offering smaller servings. Now if I can get $2 for a 50lb sack, what is an envelope worth? Packaging is what confers the value, so I'd say somebody was putting their 2 cents worth in. Hey plain ol' water out of the tap is worth more than gasoline when put in pint bottles and sold with a fancy label to yuppies.
