Starring John Kerry as Homer Simpson

I got an email this morning soliciting donations to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The email informs me that several of the author's colleagues are in real trouble, having been targeted by national Republicans. It starts out like this:

Dear Moogie,

I know you get more requests for donations than you can
give to. I really do. In these times, especially, I feel bad for asking.

It goes on to name three of those colleagues in a "firefight," including the author's good pal Barbara Boxer, and explains why I should feel guilty for not forking over my checking account number and PIN.

Then it's sincerely signed, "Sen. John Kerry."

Heh. He don't know me too good, do he?
