Breaking: Bill Lee Insists “I Do Exist”

Depsite evidence to the contray, Bill Lee continues to claim that he infact exsists and is not a mythological figure dreamed up by Charlie Copeland and Dave Burris.
“I do exist” claimed Lee, althought it was faint and hard for anyone to discern. Rather than Bill Lee bystanders thought what they were hearing might have been the wind blowing a peice of paper down the street.

Who is more real, Michael Phelps’ father or Bill Lee?
Comment by rsmitty on 21 August 2008 at 3:36 pm:
Oh no, you mentioned “Dave Burris” in your post. Get the comment-o-meter warmed up.
Comment by delawaredem on 21 August 2008 at 3:39 pm:
Bill Lee exists. He is just on his 21st vacation since announcing his candidacy.
Comment by jason330 on 21 August 2008 at 3:40 pm:
Wha…I did?….oh….
(C’mon Burris Mojo….baby needs a new pair of shoes!)

If I were a registered Republican, I’ d vote for Mike Protack. I’ve heard him – he sounds reasonable – and who the heck does Bill Lee think he is, not showing up to anything and giving real short answers to all the questions in the News-Journal.
I hope Protack wins!!!

The Bill Lee vacation countdown would be a good way to count the number of days til he shows up at a debate.
Comment by Joe M on 21 August 2008 at 4:28 pm:
Is that picture a (dare I say it) and empty suit?
Comment by liberalgeek on 21 August 2008 at 4:31 pm:
Hey- with spelling like this headline, the News Journal is sure to come calling…
Comment by FSP on 21 August 2008 at 5:29 pm:
He existed just fine to the thousands of people who participated in his first tele-town hall meeting this afternoon.
Comment by jason330 on 21 August 2008 at 5:40 pm:
tele-town hall meeting…
No comment.
Comment by FSP on 21 August 2008 at 5:44 pm:
Great way to talk to thousands of people live at the same time.
Comment by pandora on 21 August 2008 at 5:50 pm:
Thousands???
Comment by nemski on 21 August 2008 at 5:55 pm:
Thousands???
Everyone has three names, so it depends how you count.

Beer goggles have a known group-multiplier effect, too.
Comment by Mike Matthews on 21 August 2008 at 6:08 pm:
My thoughts exactly: THOUSANDS?!?
Comment by FSP on 21 August 2008 at 6:30 pm:
Thousands: (n.) an unspecified large number from 1,000 to 9,999.
Used in a sentence: “The amount of people who listened in on Bill Lee’s Tele-Town Hall numbered in the thousands.”
Comment by Von Cracker on 21 August 2008 at 6:34 pm:
Thousands – really Tens adjusted for inflation.
Teh DE GOP is the Zimbabwe dollar of political parties.
Comment by jason330 on 21 August 2008 at 8:33 pm:
Oh jeez Dave. Keep digging your way out of the hole. It is a very Republican way to go.
A) tele-town hall meeting… is complete bullshit and highlights what a no-show your guy is. Hell, Levin might have put up more of a fight that this fish.
B) Thousands? That just sounds dumb.
Comment by anon on 21 August 2008 at 8:47 pm:
Classic stuff.
Comment by FSP on 21 August 2008 at 8:49 pm:
How does talking to thousands of people=not showing up? Bill Lee is taking care of his current business — Republican primary voters. He has met with them, gone to their events, called them, knocked on their doors, mailed them literature, emailed them and talked to thousands of them on the phone.
The main event hasn’t even started yet. You guys pick a candidate and then the real fight will begin: the Dover Insider who sat as a silent accomplice during the cronyism, scandal and corruption of the 2000’s vs. the guy who told you it would happen and is still here offering real, positive change.
Comment by FSP on 21 August 2008 at 8:50 pm:
They allowed me to sit in on the process and the last time I saw, there had been 2,225 people on the line. How is that dumb? I was really impressed at the technology.
Comment by liz allen on 21 August 2008 at 8:52 pm:
june you really have lost your mind and your intellect! Are you paying attention to anything?
Comment by jason330 on 21 August 2008 at 9:36 pm:
I put Lee at even money to get past Protack at this point.
He acts like he doesn’t want it. Voters hate that. It is called “running for office” for a reason.
Comment by cassandra_m on 21 August 2008 at 9:48 pm:
I met Mike Protack tonight at the Candidate’s Forum in Wilmington.
Before I introduced myself, I watched him answer questions (and saw him answer questions at the environmental debate Tuesday). And he is doing pretty well at these things. He gives good, (mostly) straightforward answers and he is clearly working at connecting with the crowds. And I gotta admit, he was very charming this evening, with alot of folks laughing with his anecdotes, interested in what he had to say and folks agreeing with him. Don’t forget that tonight’s audience was not exactly home turf for Republicans.
And he apologized for Bill Lee not being there (without saying Lee’s name). That was a nice touch.
Charlie Copeland, on the other hand, was a dork.

“However,” replied Delaware, “the fact has not created in me a sense of obligation.”
Comment by Mike Protack on 22 August 2008 at 12:23 am:
Cassandra,
Thank you for introducing yourself to me tonight, I enjoyed the forum. John Watson did a good job. Copeland deserves credit for his appearance tonight and his non profit activities.
I am familiar with the Tele Town Hall and we used them in 2006 with Veterans. We did three and we taregeted almost 4,000 veterans and over 500 ’showed’ up on line. The technology is impressive but the passive results were not. In a one hour event each time we could only get to 15 callers an hour. Visiting VFW’s and American Legions in the flesh was much more productive.
Essentially, people listen but when they can’t interact they drop off or go dormant and not enough of a connection is made. Also, we did it very early not very late.
The place to be tonight was 501 N Lombard.

Mike thanks for the explanation about these tele -conference calls.
FSP, was that 2,225 people invited? Reminds me of the Nickelodean caveat on contests:
Many were invited, only a few showed up.
Comment by rsmitty on 22 August 2008 at 9:15 am:
nemski(DPN), I missed it…what/who is “DPN?”
Comment by nemski is now DPN on 22 August 2008 at 9:16 am:
I’m changing my “handle” from nemski to DPN
Comment by rsmitty on 22 August 2008 at 9:24 am:
I guess if I looked back at Monday’s (now 90% incorrect) email from unemployed-Viti, I could figure out why. Dumb me.
Comment by Al Mascitti on 22 August 2008 at 9:39 am:
“He acts like he doesn’t want it. Voters hate that. It is called “running for office” for a reason.”
Now can you forward this comment to the Obama campaign, please?
Comment by FSP on 22 August 2008 at 9:43 am:
Nemski – No. 20,000 were called. 2,000+ chose to participate. Most of the rest were answering machines.
Comment by anonamouse on 22 August 2008 at 11:57 am:
i’ve never talked to a goper in delaware who hasn’t thought protack was a psycho. maybe that’s why the gop would rather nominate a retired guy on vacation who didn’t even want the job in a fucking landslide over pink postcard protack.
Comment by Mike Protack on 22 August 2008 at 11:54 pm:
Well, when we win September 9th, it will all change.
Comment by FSP on 22 August 2008 at 11:58 pm:
Win what? Your lawsuit?
