All the former Daschle staffers who are still fighting the last war took a break from celebrating the closure of Ellsworth yesterday and sent out a press release attacking Senator Thune on Social Security.

South Dakotans United Launches Four Week "Take a Stand Campaign" Calling on Senator John Thune to Attend Town Hall Meetings to Take a Stand On Bush's Social Security Plan
As was noted by the Argus Leader last weekend, former Senator Daschle is itching to get back into the political arena and run again, so it's no surprise that he is maintaining a permanent campaign organization which is constantly attacking Thune almost six years before the next election. And Daschle is directly supporting the effort since Daschle's political action committee is paying his former campaign manager Steve Hildebrand. Hildebrand's helper, Jeremy Funk, is best known for promoting "F--- John Thune" t-shirts on his website, saying he wants to "rip Thune's n--- off" on his website, and for being detained by police in 2002 for stalking Thune. Is Senator Daschle 'troubled' by the "startling meanness" of all this in keeping with his major speech a year ago? No--he's paying for it using his political action committee. That speech last year was just for political show.
