It looks like the Democratic Party’s strategy for winning power involves a return to the days of Camelot. But not that Camelot.
Two Democratic National Committee recruiters with clipboards, both young women, stood outside the entrance to Camelot, the strip club on M Street Northwest, during lunchtime Tuesday.
One of them said to a man who claimed to only be passing by, “Do you want to help us take over Congress?” She clearly hadn’t pegged the passerby for a Republican.
“Not so much,” the man, a former House GOP aide, said he told her, “since my political hero is Tom DeLay.”
Democratic Party officials weren’t so amused. DNC spokesman Mark Paustenbach said in an e-mail, “I can confirm that we had canvassers today downtown on M Street. All best, Mark.”
