I hope to God that someone was really, really stoned.

Or was hired as part of a support program to get jobs for idiots. Any alternative explanation is too awful to consider.

An email today from Rep. Wasserman Schultz, titled One really super dog:

Manny --

Lately my kids have been asking if they can dress our dogs up for Halloween. I can't blame them, either. I mean, wouldn't Demmy look good as a superhero?

Unfortunately, (or fortunately for Demmy, who doesn't want to wear a costume) Democrats don't have much time for an extended Halloween celebration this year. This election is going to be a close one until the very last second. We're neck-and-neck in important races in states like Wisconsin and Georgia, and we need to make sure we finish strong.

So Manny, will you chip in $3 or more right now?

If you donate $200 today, you'll be on the list of our best supporters we send to the FEC. If you've saved your payment information, your donation will go through immediately.

...

Thanks, Manny -- from Demmy and me both!

Debbie

Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Chair
Democratic National Committee

I'm trying hard to reduce my whining in the weeks before this upcoming election... but holy @#$%...

THIS SHOULD BE ABOUT ASPIRING TO GREAT THINGS. NOT NON SEQUITURS ABOUT DOGGIE COSTUMES.

IT'S ABOUT GOVERNING. GOVERNING. HELPING PEOPLE. STOPPING EVIL.

I CANNOT FUCKING STAND THIS INSANE @#$% ANYMORE.
