McKinnon backs Miller vs. 'disrespectful partisan idiot'

Mark McKinnon, the Bush adman who has denounced his party's excesses, is backing Democrat Rob Miller against Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina, McKinnon just wrote:

Make Joe Wilson pay.

And by pay, I mean beat his sorry ass at the polls and send him to the private sector. That is the only way to change the political discourse in America today. Because as long as louts like Joe Wilson can spout off and call the president a liar and get rewarded with re-election, then louts will continue to spout off. And we will continue to claw out way to the very bottom of the political swamp.

I’m a Republican, but I’d rather have a Democrat in Congress who I may disagree with but who has some fundamental character and decency which Wilson clearly lacks. So, today I’m volunteering for Republicans for Rob Miller, Wilson’s opponent, a former Marine and Iraq veteran, and am sending him a $1,000 check....

There’s only one way to we’re going to change our political climate and ensure we establish some respect in our discourse. And that is to show there is a real price to pay for being a disrespectful partisan idiot.

Send Joe Wilson home.
