When: Spring 2008. Where: Marmet, West Virginia. A candidate for office (I'll call him Roscoe) went up to a state party official (I'll call him Rick). Candidate Roscoe said, "I'm outraged!" To which Rick replied, "Why are you outraged, Roscoe?"
"There's a meet the candidate event this weekend in Putnam County and Senator Smith (not his name) says I have to pay a hundred dollars if I want to speak! I'm outraged."
Rick put his hand on Roscoe's shoulder and responded, "You should be outraged, Roscoe. I've heard your speech and it isn't worth a hundred dollars."
True story.
