Surprise letter to constituent from Rep. Emerson R-Mo

Reports Sam Hanenel of The Associated Press:

"Nobody expects to get a letter from a member of Congress that ends with an expletive.

But that's what happened when Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., recently corresponded with a resident of her southeast Missouri district.

The letter ended with a profane, seven-letter insult" "i think you're an asshole."

Emerson says she can't explain how the offensive language made it into the letter, which otherwise reads like a typical response to a citizen's question about last year's testimony of oil executives before the Senate Commerce Committee.

"There is no excuse for this inappropriate letter having been sent, and every apology has been made to the individual who received it," Emerson said in a statement to The Associated Press."

1. At least she didn't say, "I think you're a Republican."

Now THAT would be an insult.

2. Saw a copy of it....

They'll be able to figure out who did it pretty easily.
