An e-mail sent to McCain-Palin campaign staff — subsequently released to The Washington Post — reads:
“Starting Monday December 8, 2008 the prices will be slashed to 36% of the original price for furniture, office supplies, blackberries, and many campaign computers. This is a great opportunity to own a piece of history, finish your Christmas shopping, or simply replace your old laptop.”
I don’t know about you, but owning a “piece of history” shouldn’t be on par with replacing “your old laptop.”
Among the tech goodies for sale are:
– A Dell Latitude D620 laptop for $417.00. – A Dell Latitude D820 laptop for $570.00. – Brother multifunction printer for $189.00. – RIM Blackberry 8700c for $30.00. – Folding chairs for $3.60 each. – A 55-cup steel coffee urn for $77.00. – A power strip for $1. – Ethernet cables for $1 a pound.
Wowwie! Those are some primo deals. But I’m holding out for the Blackberry that McCain invented, or the computer used by Palin to discover that Africa is not, in fact, a country.
