More infuriating Obama email fun

Anne Marie Habershaw does not send email. That’s not her job. So it is significant, I believe I am meant to believe, when she sends me an email soliciting money. She doesn’t send emails, but this cause is sooooooo important that she is breaking tradition and sending emails.

Maybe she doesn’t send emails because she’s shy, or maybe she’s among those people who are reluctant to ask complete strangers for money. Seems unlikely, given that she was the Chief Operating Officer of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006, in which capacity I’m guessing she put the arm on a few people, but who knows; maybe she’s suffered an appalling physical or spiritual disfigurement since then.

Anyway, she asked me if I would contribute $5 to her current organization, Organizing for America, by Tuesday night so they could reach their fundraising goal for September.

I wrote back to tell her that if she can explain to my satisfaction why the president named walking tumor Alan Simpson to head a wholly unnecessary deficit reduction commission, and why the president thinks he has the authority to assassinate US citizens on his own say-so, I will send her $5 by midnight Tuesday despite being on a fixed income of the sort that Alan Simpson despises.

She probably gets a lot of email but since she doesn’t spend a lot of time sending it I’m hoping she’ll find the time to respond to mine before the Tuesday midnight deadline. I want to help!
