Republican National Committee ships jobs to India

Highly entertaining on one level. Rage-inducingly wrong on another.

India’s Business Standard newspaper is reporting on the RNC’s ‘smart’ use of campaign funds – using low-paid sweatshop call centre workers in Noida, India to call up Americans and pump them for campaign funds to support the Bush re-election campaign.

And remember as you read this - we're talking about the same George Bush who boosted Hallmark stock with the proclamation of "Patriot Day" just a year ago today.

An interesting kind of patriotism at work here.

The RNC has, of course, denied the whole thing.

Harrumph!
