Last week I sent S. King a nasty email

I mean the guy from western Iowa we all despise, not the author, obviously. Anyway, the very first line was "You need to just shut up". Word for word.
I went on to explain that he was an embarassment to all sane Iowans, which are most of us even though we live somewhere other than his district. I did keep it clean because I try to (mostly) keep things on a professional level.
Sure hope he doesn't have some sort of teabagger secret police throw me in jail. Wait, the teabagger secret police is likely similar to Bill O'Reilly's "Fox police" of a few years ago. A bunch of imaginary wannabes. So I'm not too worried. And it felt good to unload on that guy.
And the more I think about it, the more I think that an aide read it and deleted it right away anyway. I would sort of like an answer though.

NONE of those (R) people are really doing the job that they're being paid to do. Well, maybe they're doing what their "other income" (from special interests) pays them to do, but they are NOT earning their salaries and benefits. They are not even KNOWLEDGEABLE about the issues and the legislation.

It is shameful. We should all send emails like yours.

Unless they can smell th money in the envelope, the could give a fuck less what you write.
More than likely you will get a franked letter in about a month or two that starts off "Thank you Mr. Bluzmann ........."
then it will end "Please write again if I can be of any more help....." with some indecipherable bullshit in between.
