Former-Sen. Coleman's Senate Mailer
by dave | Fri, 01/16/2009 - 1:54pm
Making its way into mailboxes across the 5th Senate District is a 12-page color newsletter (see Maida1&12 attachment below) from the former State Capitol office of former State Sen. Maida Coleman. The centerfold is a photo layout that includes Coleman with "the political figure and entertainer" Ben Stein (see Maida6 attachment below).
The elaborate farewell mailer coincides with Coleman's run for St. Louis City mayor as an Independent.
She will be on the April 7th general election ballot if she turns in the required petition signatures. Most recent Maida Coleman stories here, here, and here.

As everyone probably already knows, this flyer was paid for by us, the taxpayers. All of those legislative "newsletters", by both Democrats and Republicans, are thinly disguised campaign literature printed and mailed at public expense. Doing so at the very end of one's term and timed to coincide with running for another office makes this one even more flagrant than others.
It's an abuse that should be ended.
BTW, I saw Maida at the 15th Ward forum last night. She didn't speak, but she took a lot of notes and said hello to people she recognized before and after the meeting.
Awkward moment: when Denise Coleman spoke, she glared at Maida several times.
thanks. still working out the new format. The links are now attachments at the bottom.
The links are bad, Dave.
Why is Maida hanging out with a nut like Ben Stein?
Tiara Alert! Maida with a tiara! Shit you not, pic next to the Stein.
If we aren't willing to pay a price for our values, then we should ask ourselves whether we truly believe in them at all.
She's like Drew Pritt, Dustin Mitchell, and Blago all rolled into one party bag.
New captions.
Maida Coleman and Ben Stein share how much they miss Richard Nixon.
We don't need no stinkin science, Stein instructed Coleman, after hypnotizing her with his seductive Buehler Buehler incantations.
