A Second Letter to Maurice
I have now sent and received confirmation of delivery of my second email to my Congressman, Maurice Hinchey. It reads:
Representative Hinchey,
You have said in the local print news that even though you have no evidence proving a connection between Karl Rove and the CBS News scandal, you will not stop making these allegations. I am issuing a challenge to you: either conduct an investigation to prove your slanderous comments, or quit making them.Hinchey's office has still not responded to my first email, even though I specified that I wanted a written response.
I can only assume that the concerns of his conservative constituents are of low priority.
Update: Little Green Footballs, which broke the original story, has this excellent piece on cognitive dissonance from Scylla & Charybdis.
"Yeah, that the ticket..."
