TPM's Eric Kleefeld posts a minute-long clip of J.D. Hayworth telling viewers in a 2007 infomercial how to get "free money" from the government:

"Well I don't want to shock anybody's sensibilities, but I have to use a four-letter word: Real. This is real," Hayworth said in the infomercial. "The money is out there, the opportunities are out there. And by the way, it's not something where it's the government's money -- it's really your money. You surrendered it in the form of taxation. Now's the time to take advantage of a situation where the government can invest in you. And in turn, you'll have a chance to build a business, or make a better life for yourself -- and in so doing, you'll help improve the country."

How long until the McCain campaign photoshops Hayworth's head on Matthew Lesko's body?

More importantly, how does Hayworth survive this?
