Mr. Gaetz: notice please that I did not type the word "dear" before your name. Were I to even

begin to form that familiar and customary salutation, I don't think I could control the impulse to throw up a little in my mouth. "Mr." Is actually better than you deserve, but that's just to set you up for what's coming.

I have given quite a bit of thought as to whether your tweeted attempt at intimidating Mr. Cohen should even be discussed here as your hunger for attention is almost as apparent as your cowardice. But, obviously, I've decided that ignoring self-centered little twits like you, while tempting, is simply kicking the can down the road. Like a tenement cockroach, you need to be stepped on and sooner is better than later.

If you had lived in the old west, Mattie, you'd have likely been what they called a "bushwhacker" or a "dry-gulcher"; a slimy coward who shot people in the back while safely hidden. Or, you might have been a filthy rich land baron who hired other real thugs to attack his enemies, but while you are certainly ruthless enough to fit that mold, I don't think you have the spine.

You are a strutting smirking punk suffering from delusions of adequacy, Mattie. You not only don't have a clue, you wouldn't recognize one if it bit you on the ass. You apparently think that being a nasty person will make your opponents---and you have many---respect or even fear you. Mattie, Mattie, Mattie! All you accomplish with your craven ad hominem (look it up) attacks is to insure that INSTEAD of people forgetting your criticism and you, THEY WILL REMEMBER--- and they will wait. Maybe not this week or next month or even this year, but sooner or later, someone you have gratuitously smeared or savaged---or maybe one of their friends---will catch you with your pants down and they will make certain that the video "goes viral".

As you enjoy your fleeting notoriety, know that you will soon be but a tawdry footnote in the sordid history of Donald Trump's traitorous regime.

I'll close with a heartfelt wish: that you and I could be third-graders again on the same playground. In that environment, guys like you were "dealt with" in much more direct and satisfying ways.

crooks, bigots or gullible idiots. From what I have seen of Gaetz, he is definitely the third.

They are so stupid they practically indict themselves and ruin their surprise attacks on witnesses (I just read Gaetz isn’t even on the committee holding the hearing tomorrow, so he ‘pre-announced the surprise attack of fellow repugs who are on the committee).
