Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal traveled over 3,000 miles to sneak into Vancouver on July 11 to meet with trial attorneys for an American Association for Justice PAC fundraiser, prompting this new Linda McMahon ad nailing the Dem Senate hopeful, who had bragged to MSNBC when he announced his candidacy, “I’ve never taken PAC money, and I have rejected all special interest money because I have stood strong and taken legal action against many of those special interests.” Today’s New Haven Register reports Tricky Dick defending his border crossing and newfound PACophila:

I have never condemned political action committees and I’ve never condemned candidates who accepted money.…I’ve never done it as attorney general because of the unique features of that job, but as a candidate for the United States Senate, I need to be able to fight with both arms, not one tied behind my back.

What a hoser, eh?
