Maybe They’ll Hit It Off

Saturday, July 17th, 2004

Got these two emails in response to my last Fox column within about an hour of one another:

The tone and language of your questions directed at Senator Edwards clearly expose you as a patsy for the Republican Party, and most of the questions you pose for Vice President Cheney are “softballs” that my grandmother could knock out of the park. Do me a favor, when you get home tonight, go up in your attic where the box of books you kept from your college years is stored and find one of your basic texts on journalism. Read it! Read it again! And try to remember what the words “fair and balanced” really mean.

And…

Typical democrat questions; from a truly liberal. The real questions should be about keeping God in schools and prayers and on our money and in our country. Partial birth abortion should be stopped unless you democrats like killing babies! Protect our free speech and keep our constitution secure. Kick out the anti-gun liberals and the bush bashers, who can’t see the trees for the forrest. Tax cuts are good and they have helped us all. The biggest question we should ask all democrats, is do you constantly Lie?, and do you think no one notices the Lies you tell every day? It is hard to imagine that all you democrats think you will not have to answer for the Lies you tell every day. Is telling Lies worth ruining your life?, the answer is yes, so far. No reply is necessary if you are a democrat, because I wouldn’t believe you anyway.

I forwarded each email to the other. I thought they might like to meet.

    Well, at least the liberal had some grasp of the English language. The bible-thumper seemed a bit. . . well, he seemed to be in a bit of a tizzy.

    Maybe he feels that by repeating himself, he’ll grow more right.

    *gag*

    I often think of myself as a Republican/Democrat patsy/liberal as well. Maybe we should all make cards we can carry around and show people.

    We’re only screwed if _one_ of those two votes. If they both vote, they just cancel each other out.

    Great another Carville and Maitlin pairing in the making.

    Nice job. When you piss off both sides you’ve done right.

    Except Carville and Matilin are smart enough to know their asses from holes in the ground. And Carville’s funny.

    But there’s nothing funnier than a political discussion among ignorant clowns.

    No, he got it right — by accident.

    Any update on this? I imagine the responses to your replies are probably as good as the original messages.

    Would holy rollers be the ’super pure’ little pink round thingys that you see little old ladies wearing in their hair when they go to store? If that’s so, then tsk tsk Mike that you let them scare you out of your political affiliation. Shame.
