Since election...forgive me Merle, CONGRATULATIONS! Since election day, I've been spending most of my time with my new son, born October 18 (your card of congratulations must have been lost in the mail). I've also been doing my job in Springfield representing units of local government, law enforcement and the American Cancer Society. Also, I've been trying to represent some of my law firm clients in their divorces, collection actions, will contests etc. I apologize if you think that my failure to call you is some sign of disrespect and I really didn't know that my opinion mattered enough for you to chastize me in public. If it makes you feel better, I've also not called Carol Trumpe, Brad Horton, Trip O'Connor or Mike McCoy to congratulate them either. Somehow between 3 o"clock feedings, fighting bad public policy in Springfield and protecting the rights of my clients, politics found its appropriate place, secondary. If however, you feel compelled to snidely crow about a narrow victory in a 70+ % republican district and publicly insinuate that I'm somehow a secret backstabbing critic who owes you an apology for not publicly celebrating your coronation, then so be it. I don't have the time or further interest in wallowing in your mudpit. My conscience is clear. My priorities sound. Apparently you can't say the same. feel free to launch one of your classic public ad hominem attacks on me, ala your county board colleagues in the aftermath of the landfill debate. as kevin reminds us, it does not pay to wrestle a pig......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-1165621232040919352006-12-08T17:40:00.000-06:002006-12-08T17:40:00.000-06:00Hi Angie,Title is "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven". ...Hi Angie,<BR/><BR/>Title is "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven".
