Dodd E-Mail Making Fun of Lobbyists Was Sent to Lobbyists By David D. Kirkpatrick July 17, 2009, 6:00 am Senator Christopher J. Dodd’s campaign has mastered populism, but maybe not tact. This week the campaign sent out a fund-raising e-mail entitled “Those poor lobbyists!” To tout Mr. Dodd’s common-man credentials, it quoted anonymous lobbyists complaining that they could not get meetings with him: “ ‘He certainly isn’t doing things to cater to the K Street crowd,’ Isn’t that a shame?” A link sent viewers to a video set against the sound of weeping — presumably the tears of a lobbyist. The Dodd campaign, however, neglected to remove Washington lobbyists from its e-mail fund-raising lists.
