Kerry emails Councilman Thune, via me:<\/p>\n
Mr. Thune, You, sir, are a terrific embarassment.\u00a0 Nothing beyond, “If we let one bar stay open until four, we must let all stya open” needed saying.\u00a0 You ought to have left it at that.\u00a0 Where is your Christian charity that you decide 8000 people you have not and never will meet will be 1) “….puking” and 2), doing so on your lawn.\u00a0 To keep a man down, one must be in the gutter with them.\u00a0 In this case, you occupy it alone.\u00a0 Is this decent? Loving?\u00a0 Why\u00a0broadcast your personal opinions about national policy in this case?\u00a0 You have, in Mark Twain<\/span>‘s words, removed all doubt in opening your mouth.\u00a0 A great city does not have offical city council members who ridicule others in public.\u00a0 Like a lie, a slander travels at least halfway around the world before truth puts on its pants.\u00a0 Will St. Paul benefit or lose if parts of its reputation includes people\u00a0 in Peoria or Buffalo chortling at\u00a0 “some guy named in St. Paul named Thone or Thune” \u00a0and the word “puking”?\u00a0 Please, next time, keep silent, I beg you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
