The peak of congressional rudeness from an idiot's gal Friday.

Wow. If I used the names that fit her, I would get banned. Wow.

It’s a power struggle and Liz won. That’s Washington for you. Her power is with Baghdad Jim. As long as he’s in power, she stays in power. However, once Baghdad Jim loses (we hope most sincerely it happens soon), Lizard Liddy will receive her comeuppance. Tom Foley’s wife, Heather (and she’s a dragon too) controlled the parking spots. She also controlled Foley’s office. With parking at a premium, you can your booties, Heather wielded her power like Lizard Liddy. These emails weren’t about an erroneous name. It was about Lizard Lizzie exerting her power.

I so wish I had Liz’s email. She sounds lonely.

You can email her here:

Elizabeth.becton@mail.house.gov.

I thanked her for the laugh, and of course addressed her as Liz.

Hi Elizabeth, Again, I am sincerely sorry for offending you. I don’t recall who I overheard. It was in no way my intention to make you upset. Best, XXX “

Hi Elizabeth,
Get that pole out your a** and stop being such a complete BI**H.

But I bet you secretly like that pole...

My Dear Ms Becton,
Please accept my apology for calling you "Liz".
Henceforth I promise I shall use your proper name
ELIZABITCH!

Yours Truly,

As I posted on the other thread about this, she has every right to ask to be treated respectfully by someone that she doesn’t know. I am also very irritated by someone presuming intimacy when I have just met them.

She may have gone overboard but it is irritating to be addressed by your first name let alone a diminutive by someone that you don't know.

"No, I'm serious......and don't call me Shirley".

[astyanax]

Heard you were looking for a new consultant...
You should drop this “girl” a line. ;o)

[exit82]

Yeah, like no one has ever called her “Liz” in her life before.

She’s like her boss and her President—power drunk and thin skinned.

McDermott spokesman Mike DeCesare told us Tuesday, “An apology is being issued as we speak

Sounds like Liz's boss is going to make McBee Strategic really grovel, if they want even more apologies.

[popdonnelly]

These idiots in Washington work for us and get paid by us. If they want to act like snot-nosed elitists, let them get a job somewhere else.

[Selmore]

When did, "let me perfectly clear" become a proper thing to say to someone.

I have also heard the "chosen one," President Hussein say it.

To me its pompous and obnoxious.

If someone says that to me, they will get an earful.

Thanks for email address, I addressed her as Liz, Beth, and snotty B#$%h.

[llevrok]

Hey Liz,
What’s the problem? You seem on edge about your name. Can’t handle the woman monthly stuff? C’mon, you’re not a man. So not to worry. Have a good cry. You’ll feel better.

Please remember also: both you and the Congressman work at the tax payer’s discretion and he (not you) is elected to serve the American people.

Now be a good gal Friday and get me a cup of coffee.

May I suggest Betty as her new nickname?

I think she’ll really like that one.

Hi Liz,
Liz, I read about you and Rep. McDermott on the internet. It sounds like you’re both doing a great job, Liz. Please, Liz, keep up the good work, Liz. Thanks again, Liz.

Sincerely, Liz.
