LA-06: Unemployed Ex-Congresswoman Donates to Unemployable Wannabe Congresswoman

Now this is interesting.  Ashley Casey, a “new media consultant” from Baton Rouge and former aide to Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer (R), is running as an independent in the special election to replace Rep. Richard Baker.  She hasn’t raised a lot of money, but she did receive an eyebrow-raising check in the mail today:

Sue Kelly

Katonah, New York 10536

Employer: Self

Occupation: Former Congresswoman

Date Contributed = 04/22/2008

Amount Contributed = 1000.00

Yup, that’s right — Sue Kelly, the former NY GOP Congresswoman whose career was put to its merciful end by Democrat John Hall in 2006, cut a thousand dollar check to an indie candidate when her party needs all the help they can get to hold on here.  I wonder what she’s got against Woody Jenkins?

Also of note: it’s interesting that Kelly lists “Former Congresswoman” as her occupation.  Around these parts, we call that being unemployed.
