With a new mailer and TV ad, Republican Linda McMahon has launched a double-barreled attack on the political image Democrat Richard Blumenthal has cultivated as a crusading attorney general over two decades. The commercial and mailer portray Blumenthal as dishonest and, for the first time in his career, beholden to “special interests” that have contributed $480,000 to his U.S. Senate campaign.

Both pieces play off a statement Blumenthal made in an MSNBC interview on Jan. 7, the day after he entered the Senate race: “I’ve never taken PAC money, and I have rejected all special interest money.”

“Really?” says an announcer in McMahon’s commercial. “Since January, he’s taken a half a million dollars from PACs and special interests. How can he fight the special interests if they are paying for his campaign?”
