This has got to be the most "aww shucks" fund-raising plea ever sent (supposedly) by a Kansas candidate's children. The 14-year-old son of Rob Wasinger, the fertile candidate running for Jerry Moran's soon-to-be-vacant congressional seat, supposedly covertly sent out this e-mail appeal as a Father's Day gift to dear ol' dad. The e-mail "from" Stephen Wasinger is full of mom's apple pie fajitas,
baseball and breakfast in bed. USA! USA! USA!
Stephen Wasinger and his eight brothers and sisters even claim
they're pooled their "allowance money to make a little contribution." They're just like the kid who sold his bike and video games so he could give money to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Bet that kid wishes he had his X-Box back.
Wasinger's saccharine-filled e-mail is reminiscent of another Republican candidate: Sarah Palin. They both have lots of kids with creative (and some, not so creative) names. Meet the Wasingers ...
Hi everyone!
My name is Stephen Wasinger and at 14, I am the oldest of all nine of us Wasinger kids.
If you haven't met any of us yet... you will. We love campaigning with our Dad, and now that school is out, you'll be seeing us a lot more!
This Father's Day, we are all really happy that our Dad took the day off of campaigning to spend the day with us at home.
We have some big plans for the day... breakfast in bed, baseball in the afternoon, and of course, Mom's fajitas for dinner which are Dad's favorite.
But... we have a little surprise for my dad.
While he is taking the day off, us kids are secretly campaigning for him.
We've been pooling together our allowance money to make a little contribution.
And, with the help of my Aunt Marilyn, who is the treasurer of the campaign, I thought I would use my technology skills to e-mail all of my Dad's supporters so you could be a part of our surprise gift!
My dad knows we are good at passing out fliers and slapping stickers everywhere around the house, help us prove to him we can raise money, too!
Thank you for supporting my Dad, he is going to make a great Congressman.
Thank you for your help!
Stephen Wasinger
PS: Please join me, Sebastian, Carolina, Augustine, Maddalena, Basil, Paddy, Francesca, and baby Anselm in helping my Dad this Father's Day! But remember, don't tell him... its a surprise!

Looking at the names he's given his children, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Catholic fundie.
- St. Stephen
- St. Sebastian
- St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo of
"Confessions" and "City of God" fame.
- Maddalena is the Italian version of Magdalene
- St. Basil or Basil of Caesarea
- St. Patrick
- St. Anselm of "Proslogion" fame and creator
of the Ontological Argument for God's
existence, possibly the worst argument ever
seriously advanced.
