“Folks, this is an emergency alert. Please email the highly influential conservative blogger Ed Morrissey … and tell him what a dangerous RINO fraud Rick Perry is. You also might want to put in a good word for Ron Paul. Also, your emails must be polite. Morrissey needs to know Rick Perry is counterfeit money while Ron Paul is GOLD.”

– from an e-mail circulating among supporters of a certain aged Texas congressman.
