Since it's impossible to explain the 2003 Legislature in a 30-second ad, unless you just repeat the phrase "mass hysteria" several times, her campaign did the next best thing by attacking the attackers. In algebra, as in politics, a negative multipled by a negative usually equals a positive. As the announcer explained, those claiming to form the citizens group really aren't citizens. They are lawyers and casino executives.
In other words, illegal aliens practicing law and running casinos attacked O'Connell."
