Once in a While, Dispense with the Niceties

The Club for Growth's blog has posted an item about a $1 coin bill that sounds like another Michael Oxley disaster coming down the pike. The Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Mike Pence's response letter to Rep. Oxley is also posted there. Now, I take pride in my committment to civility and believe strongly that we should have a courteous public discourse. However, just as there are times for carrot and times for the stick, sometimes a little unvarnished language would probably be more effective than the elegance with which Rep. Pence tells Rep. Oxley to sod off.

Ideally, the letter should have gone something like this:

Mike:
Got your letter. I was happy to try to trash that stupid $1 coin bill that you sponsored. The last thing we need is another one of your brilliant ideas. Sarbanes-Oxley is a shit-show of gargantuan proportions and you are the only one left who doesn't see it. Don't give me this Republican unity crap, a dumb idea is a dumb idea. How much more of your crap does the US economy have to take? Retire already.
Regards,
Mike
