Nobody Will Help John Street Do Anything

As the anti-Michael Nutter ad begins to air on some TV stations — there are now two versions of the ad, too! — the One Step Closer Nü-Metal PAC are beginning to attempt to find funding to keep that ad on the air ’til election day.

Of course, they didn’t exactly call on the best person to help. John Street attempted to do some fundraising for the campaign, and here was the result.

Shawn Fordham, a paid consultant to the “527″ group and a top adviser to Street, said yesterday that the mayor had made at least three telephone calls “a few days ago,” soliciting money for the group, known as One Step Closer.

Street’s spokesman, Joe Grace, confirmed that Street had made the fund-raising calls - though Fordham said no one Street had contacted agreed to donate.

Gee, the unpopular mayor — who most people probably don’t even know is still alive — couldn’t get people to donate to an anti-Mike Nutter group? No!
