An Email From James Carville

November 1, 2008 By Mark Draughn 2 Comments

I get campaign email of all kinds these days. In this post I would like to analyze an email message entitled “They Basically Stole Ballots” which I received from James Carville earlier today. It begins,

Dear Mark,

from you and your Republican counterparts, and I just can’t take it anymore! I don’t think all you campaign professionals are even the same species as the rest of us! Leave me alone you fucking freaks!!!!bullshit I thought you were a disgusting political creature eight years ago, and that was when you still retained a few vestigal human attributes. Now you’re just The Spin That Walks Like A Man! Just go Away! I’ve been sitting through two goddamned years of this relentless AARRG!Aaaaarrgh! Aaaaahh! Leave me alone!

Sorry, dear readers. I thought I could hold on three more days, but something just snapped.

    Actually, I feel much better now.

    Stress: the basic confusion created when one’s mind overrides the body’s desire to choke the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it.
