Frank Wolf Heads Back to '66 -- 1866, That Is!

From a panicky email by Frank Wolf:
We want to make you aware that last Friday, the Democratic National Congressional Committee decided to add the 10th District to its list of "targeted" races. This will mean more out-of-state money for Congressman Wolf's opponent...
We need your help to counter this out-of-state operation.
Uh, Congressman, how long have you been around Washington?  Wait, don't answer that. Ha. :) Still, don't you think that after several centuries decades in D.C. you should know that it's the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, aka DCCC, not some make-believe organization you call the "Democratic National Congressional Committee," that has added Judy Feder to its "Red to Blue" list? Or perhaps you were thinking about how the DCCC was founded in 1866 as the Democratic National Congressional Committee? Yeah, that must be it! :)

By the way, Congressman Wolf, given that you're freaking out about Judy Feder being named a "targeted" race by the DNCC DCCC, maybe you shouldn't read this:

The DCCC's list adds up to over $34 million on TV ads this September and October in 31 targeted districts, a move designed to swamp the NRCC with the Dems' huge cash advantage.
Or this:
The DCCC raised $10 million in June, and reported $54.7 million cash on hand at the end of the month. The NRCC raised $6.1 million in June, and ended June with $8.5 million in its campaign account.
A nearly 7:1 cash advantage for the DCCC over the NRCC?  No wonder why Frank Wolf is dredging up names of organizations that haven't existed since 1866.
