Tom Wilson and Other Failed GOP Bosses Write Bad Script for NJ GOP

GOP State Chairman Tom Wilson says prankster who impersonated him in an e-mail to several Republican County Chairmen can avoid criminal prosecution if he/she comes forward by 9AM tomorrow morning with an apology. Earlier today, an attorney representing Wilson sent a letter to the individual by e-mail stating their intention file charges.

Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson says his attorney has contacted Yahoo! to trace the origin of a political prankster who has impersonated Wilson in e-mails to GOP leaders and initiated discussions on Andy Unanue's candidacy for the U.S. Senate. Three GOP County Chairmen responded to the fake e-mail, which was then forwarded to PolitickerNJ.com by the purported author, who says "as a college student, I originally set up this email as a gag thinking no one would really think this was coming from the State Chairman - as you can see, I was wrong.  To be clear, I was very upset about the Chairmen pushing this guy Andy into the race, since I like both Senator Pennacchio and Dr. Sabrin."  Copies of the e-mail were also sent to the Pennacchio and Sabrin campaigns.

Republican State Chairman Tom Wilson  faxed an angry letter to Democratic U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg this morning, accusing his reelection campaign of being the source of today’s Star-Ledger story that quoted a lawsuit related to an intra-family business spat that led to Senate candidate Andy Unanue’s ouster as Chief Operating Officer of Goya Foods.

“It is telling that after nearly 25 years in office, the best you have to offer the people of New Jersey is a tired, old gutter campaign replete with sleazy personal attacks,” said Wilson. “Frankly, the legal proceedings from Andy's family business dispute are no more relevant or appropriate campaign fodder than your divorce proceedings.”

The four year old testimony quoted in the article alleged that Unanue showed up to work drunk. In his own testimony, Unanue disputed that, but admitted that he had come to work hung over.

Wilson went on to outline past Lautenberg campaigns where he said he smeared his opponents, like the campaign against Republican Millicent Fenwick that launched his Senate career.

United States Senate candidate Murray Sabrin hasn’t wasted any time in going after his new rival, Andy Unanue.

Less than 24 hours after Unanue decided to enter the Senate race, Sabrin put out a press release calling him a “playboy nightclub owner” and criticizing members of the Republican leadership for recruiting him.

Sabrin also challenged Unanue to a debate sometime this week.
