Judy Whalen Meet Alanis Morissette

Picking on people who write letters to the editors is like shooting fish in a barrel. With a howitzer. But sometimes, you just can't resist as in the case of this letter to the editor from Monday's Strib:

On the same day Vice President Dick Cheney was at an estate near Lake Minnetonka to raise money for Michele Bachmann, the Republican candidate for the Sixth District seat in the U.S. House, Bachmann's Democratic opponent, Patty Wetterling, was at a get-acquainted party at a townhouse in Woodbury.

Everyone present could have their picture taken with Wetterling at her event, while those at the Bachmann fundraiser needed to contribute $1,000 to get a picture taken with Cheney.

What irony!

JUDY WHALEN, WOODBURY

Yeah Judy, that's real ironic. About as freakin' ironic as rain on your wedding day.
