Oh, wait... You want even more proof? Last night he blasts a mia culpa to his entire mailing list:
Quote:
It has been brought to my attention that the email I sent out yesterday contained some erroneous information… yes, our friends in Washington are egregious on many, if not most counts, but apparently the information I passed on was embellished.

This is NOT to say I don’t harbor pure contempt, bordering on maniacal disdain for (pretty much) “the whole lot of ‘em”, but if I stoop to their level of fallacious spin doctoring…well, then I would be as lowly as them…

My sincerest apologies.
But just when you think the guy is showing a glimmer of smarts, he goes on...
Quote:
In an attempt to make amends, (and keep from being moved to everyone’s junk folder) I offer you the piece below (scroll beneath my signature macro)

I can ASSURE you that I FACT CHECKED this one 10 WAYS FROM SUNDAY and I will stake my reputation on its accuracy!!!
And this is what's attached. crazy

BTW, still no response to my query regarding more diversity on the calendar he asked my to produce for next year. Conscience trumps fee. I'll just send him last year's files and he dan find someone else to take the gig. Bleh... sick

It ain't like I couldn't use the bucks. And it's not that the guy is actually evil. I resigned the account in the first place because he exhibited the kind of intolerance I won't tolerate. And now, I feel like helping him out — for any price — is like wearing one of those I'M WITH STUPID T-shirts.

If he kept this crap to himself, or just within his own circle of friends/family, and out of my line of sight and hearing, it may not be as big an issue in the broader sense. But he puts it right out there in the business community — and we are, in fact, known by the company we keep. Meh... crazy

He's convinced Obama is the Devil incarnate and all Libs are the spawn of Beelzebub! eek laugh


Your cousin must be my sister. At a birthday party for another of our sisters she said quite loudly. " The problem we have to get that niggggar out of the White House" . She a self proclaimed Christian. Sad

Same here. My bro in law brings up that tie where they stepped over the line and got something wrong.

I counter that at least they look things up and don't just pass it along as if its the truth.

Me, when I send something in an email which has my name attached I'm vouching for it. My family says they don't care, they jut hit the forward button.

I've been tempted to start my own viral email to see how long it takes to get back to me.

Quite often I will see the same email sent to me by five of my family. Each just forwarding it along.
