A TDP Email Made Of Smiles

Oh man. I just got an email from the Texas Democratic Party, and it totally made my day. Apparently, they are helping people apply to be Rick Perry's newest crony.

Dear fellow Democrat,

Have you ever wanted a job where you could go to the Super Bowl, fly around in chartered helicopters, stay at the finest resorts, and receive an $80,000 parting gift when you quit? Good news-a job like that just opened up, and if you have the right stuff, you just might land a position as Rick Perry's newest crony.

My favorite part of the job application:

When I sell access to the Governor, I prefer to be paid in:
( ) Corporate money.
( ) Tax-deductible corporate money.
( ) Corporate money funneled through a nonprofit.
( ) Enough corporate money to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

This is both really funny and a true story. Go visit the TDP and encourage this kind of behavior.
