Let’s file this one under “left wing death threats? What left wing threats?” I’m sure Excitable Chucky will chime in to decry this shortly, when he steps away from the patting himself on the back, creationism, climahysteria, Palin bashing, and all those other thing independents do
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s take-no-prisoners demand for education cuts got him a whole lot more than he bargained for — a death wish.
It was in a controversial e-mail sent by the Bergen County Teachers Union to its members asking that Christie be “taken” by the Lord.
The e-mail in question was sent by Bergen County Education Association president Joseph Coppola in the form of a prayer, which said:
“Dear lord,’ this year you have taken away my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favorite actress, Farrah Fawcett, my favorite singer, Michael Jackson, and my favorite salesman, Billy Mays. I just wanted to let you know that Chris Christie is my favorite governor.”
And, when caught
“While it was intended as a joke I recognize that it was in poor taste, bad taste and was definitely an error of poor judgment and I sincerely apologize to the governor,” Coppola said.
Ah, the old “wishing death on someone is just a joke so just move on” defense. The left sure likes to pull that one out a lot, don’t they?
