You gotta love politicians
Representative Jo Ann Emerson represents a district in southeast Missouri and, like any good politician should do, she takes the time to correspond with residents of her district. So when a constituent asked her about testimony given last year by oil executives during a Senate Commerce Committee, Representative Emerson decided to provide a letter in response to the inquiry. Well, apparently Representative Emerson isn’t a fan of proofreading the letters she signs. If she was, she might have realized that the letter concluded by noting, “I think you’re an asshole.”
Of course, nobody in the Representative’s office claims to have any idea or excuse for how this happened.
Now, I don’t believe that Representative Emerson meant to include this as her signoff, but I think it teaches a very valuable lesson. Namely, our political representatives really need to focus more on their jobs - if they’re not reading letters they sign close enough to miss snafus like this, what else is getting past them at our expense?
