GET IN MAH BEWWY!
So I get a fundraising e-mail from Rep. Barney Frank — the odious architect of the housing bubble and the definition of all that is soulless and wrong in Washington D.C.
Truly… there is no more loathsome creature mucking around in the swamp than Bawney Fwank.
Naturally, I couldn’t read the thing in plain English… so I had to translate it for the rest of the world:
Shaun —
In our wine of work, being cowwect isn’t enougth.
We need to back that up with the mwoney to make the case to the vwoters. And sinth the Supweme Courth’s decisions opwening the fwoodgates for anonymous coepowate campaign mwoney for the wight wing, we are in danger of having the twuth dwowned out in this ewection season.
Will you donate $3 or mowre before the mid-weer fundwaising deadwine hits tomowwow at midnight?
– The affahmation of the Constitutionawity of the heawth care bwill obviouswy wepudiates those who tried to weevive discwedited Constitutionaw doctwines fwom the past to bwock pwogress. And it means that the wide numwber of bwenefits for mi-wions of peopaw that the biew incwudes will now be gowing fuwy into effwect. This week’s news has afwiwmed the wisdom of the choices we made when the Democwats last contwolled Congwesth:
– On the fwont of financiaw weeform, the successth of the Commodities Futuwahs Twading Commission (CFTC) ought to convwince even the most wigid down the wine defendahws of dewegulathion that financiahw weeform was necesthawy. This week, the CFTC athieved a $450 miwwion settlement with Barcway’s Bank becawse of that inthitution’s iweegaw manipuwation in the dewivative area.
Stho I write to ask you to do what you can to help the DCCC (D-thwipple-C) so that we can take back the House from the Tea Pawty and those who are intimidated by it — and not just pwotect the gains of our 2009-2010 wegiswative work, but bwiwd on them.
Bawney Fwank
Thanks Bawney. Amewica wouldn’t be the same without you.
More prosperous and free, perhaps. But the same? Never…
