Email from Paul Begala, I couldn't resist.
Dear,
Before he was driven out of town on corruption charges, they used to call Tom DeLay "the Hammer." Well, lo and behold, it turns out the Hammer has a sensitive side -- and we've apparently hurt his feelings.
Not long ago, I emailed to alert you that DeLay and other hard-right reactionaries had formed the Coalition for a Conservative Majority with plans to put "boots on the ground" in all 50 states to combat the "liberal agenda." In DeLay's twisted view, my telling the truth about him and his plans is practicing "the politics of personal destruction."
DeLay sputters on and on about me and Carville. But, you're the ones he's really afraid of. He knows that, with vigorous support from people like you, we Democrats are well on our way towards a Big Change Election that will force creeps like him back under his rock for good.
Help Drive Tom DeLay to Distraction.
That brings me to our next big opportunity to torment Republicans with the truth. Soon, President Bush will deliver his last State of the Union address. No doubt, he will stumble over his words (watching Pres. Bush try to complete a sentence is like watching a fat drunk try to cross an icy street). But he will also stumble over the facts. He'll duck and weave, lie and deny, wrap himself in the heroism of better, braver men and women who wear the uniform, and try to tell us the economy is strong and the occupation is a success.
We can't let that happen -- because if we want real change, we've got to make sure the American people know the real state of the union. That's where the DCCC's The Real State of the Union project comes in. Using mobile text messages, pop-up videos, and even an online lie detector, we're going to make sure the truth speaks louder than Bush.
Support the DCCC's The Real State of the Union Project now.
In a few days, you'll be learning about a video contest where you'll get the chance to tell your story in your own words about the challenges you, your family and your community are facing -- and about the hopes you have for your future once Bush is part of our past. It's time you stood up to George W. Bush's baloney and Tom DeLay's bluster.
If you're like me, you've had enough of Bush, DeLay and all the rest of these characters. But, we're only going to win this year's elections if we speak louder than Bush and organize harder than DeLay. I can't think of a better place to start than with your decision to support the DCCC's The Real State of the Union project.
I'm on board and I hope you'll join me.
Work harder until we win,
Paul Begala
P.S. This coming Sunday will mercifully begin the last year of the Bush/Cheney era. January 20th marks one year until Bush leaves office, please help support our campaign before Sunday and send a clear message about what the last year will be like for W.
P.P.S. In his email smearing me, DeLay wrote that he'd found our "Achilles Heal." As Mrs. Rinehimer taught me in freshman English back in Sugar Land, Texas (in the heart of DeLay's district as it happens), Achilles did not have a "heal." He had a heel. And that heel was his greatest vulnerability. When The Hammer was our congressman, we did indeed have a "heel" -- as our representative in Washington.
