Ooooohhh..ouch. My repub family member's email ("Dear Abby...)

[rainbow4321]

Dear Abby,

I am a 60-year-old woman who is married to a man who acts like he hates
me. In public, he pretends he loves me and talks about how wonderful I am. But in private, he shakes his finger in my face and calls me the 'B' word. He constantly tells me how ugly I am without make-up. I've tried everything, including a face-lift, botox treatments, and a chin tuck. I even went on a diet and lost 20 pounds.

He quit his job a few years ago after having an affair with a woman in
his office. He hasn't even looked for another job. We haven't slept
together since I confronted him about the affair. He denied it, of
course, but everybody knew it. It was humiliating. I believe he is still messing around.

While we both want to sell this house, we argue constantly about when to put it on the market. The house we want will be available in a few
months. My husband wants to put our house on the market now. I think we should wait a while. He has already started collecting boxes and packing up his stuff. Do you think he is planning to leave me?

Signed,
Worried in NY

Dear Worried in NY:

I doubt it. He wants to move back into the White House as much as you
do.

1. I thought it

sounded like it had been written by Cindy McCain. :shrug:

3. That was my thought as well

I was even puzzling over in my head the last line, trying to figure out how the answer worked for the McCain's.

2. Here's what you do: make it your business to collect every funny barb against McLame

you can find and start peppering this family member as often as possible with them. Send 'em all his/her way. Jokes about McLame's age, mental stability, marital infidelity, flubs, his Stepford wife's scary eyes, etc.

They'll cry uncle before you know it.

Oh. One other thing. Delete any further email from this relative without opening them.

4. Where do we find them?

Most of what is posted here is attacks on our own Democratic candidates and we sure don't get much negative media about McCain.

I'd love to reply to this kind of stuff with McCain anecdotes but everyone seems to treathim like he is above reproach, just a lovable old war hero who is running for President.

5. Colbert, Olberman, Letterman, Stewart, Stephanie Miller. Go to each show's website.

If you can't find actual clips to send you can just put them in quotes and give the name of the source.

DU should have lots of them. And more will come as the campaign drags on.

Look, the Repubs are already doing this arent' they? We've got to start fighting fire with fire
