Caroline! I need that puke icon for this entry
I've been getting multiple emails EVERY FREAKIN DAY from the Edwards campaign ever since I sent that snarky note to his heinous bitch wife when they invited "the public" to send her personal messages. I haven't tagged their crap spam because I'm fascinated (and nauseated) by the tone of their communications. What they write is so emotional, such soap opera style bullshit, such obvious pandering to people who have a hard time actually thinking and would rather just react to what some asshole tells them is the truth--or to the asshole himself. As you'd imagine about a campaign for a man who has nothing to offeer professionally, his handlers often write personal garabage about the hypocritical, self-interested, slimy ambulance chasing creep.
The truly SAD thing is--this seems to work. There actually ARE a lot of people stupid enough to accept/buy into crap like this:
Dear Nik,
It was nearly 54 years ago when my husband Wallace borrowed $50 to bring me and our new born boy home from the hospital back in Seneca, South Carolina. Today, a lot of people know John as an advocate, a senator, and maybe even as the next president. But Wallace and I will always know him simply as our son.
Next Sunday, June 10th, is our son John's birthday, and I'd like to ask you to help celebrate with us. Nothing would make John happier on his birthday than seeing how many people share his vision for this country and are ready to lend a hand.
We know everyone can't give a lot. But it's not about how much, it's about how many.
If every one of us gives just $6.10 to John's campaign before 6/10, we can do so much together for this country. Let's make John's birthday a celebration for America. Please add your $6.10 today:

And what's a birthday celebration without dessert? If you're able to give $6.10 to the campaign before 6/10 I'll send you a copy of my old family recipe for pecan pie-it's quite a favorite around here.
I wish I could make enough pie to thank everyone who supports my son. But the next best thing is to send you my secret recipe and hope that on June 10th we can both enjoy a slice.
Thank you,

I wonder if they get to say I'm a "supporter" because I'm on the mailing list?
