Congressional Democrats will be returning to Capitol Hill with their 'shorts in a bunch and panties in a wad' over the leak of the email concerning Congressional staffers getting inoculations before attending NASCAR events.
Naturally the Dems will attempt to downplay the flap, along with tons of help from the mainstream media that now considers the whole thing a non-issue. Even NASCAR has squelched talk about the incident, the result of a lot of jaw-boning from their friends in the North Carolina Democratic Party.
One Party official in North Carolina stated that the Party's 'business interests' with NASCAR should help to soothe any ruffled feathers over the public relations nightmare resulting from the suggestion that Democratic staffers should get their shots 'due to the increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases, tetanus, and other maladies,' as if NASCAR events are just oozing with canker sores and warts as opposed to, say, an afternoon watching the Pats play football in New England.
And NASCAR certainly makes cozy with North Carolina Democrats. After all, liberals are firmly in control of the state. The Governor's office, the Lt. Governor's office, the Legislature, and one U.S. Senate seat are all held by Dems. It makes good business sense for NASCAR to appear politically neutral.
Yet NASCAR fans in general view Democrats with a wary eye. And with the latest snub, the icing may well be on the cake as most fans simply flip the proverbial finger to the Dems for their callous, condescending attitude, in addition to their previous transgressions regarding the flag, patriotism, the military, and at least a hundred and one other issues that put them at odds with the vast American heartland.
These are issues that doom candidacies among a significant portion of the population. And to suggest that these everyday, honest, down-to-earth citizens who happen to enjoy auto racing are just dripping with dangerous fluids that a mere sneeze could transmit is so far over the top as to be downright comical.
Such things can kill political campaigns.
And the Democrats know it.
Thus, whether you or I hear anything about it or not, you can bet your last drop of penicillin that the Dems in Washington are irked beyond all measure that an email that insults tens of millions of citizens was leaked to the media.
The doors may be closed when the emotions fly at the Capitol over this, but we can rest assured that behind those closed doors the jackasses are bucking.
