By Kyle Whitmire
Maybe some folks thought they were giving me a late Christmas present or an early birthday present, but my first reaction was maybe this was a really early April Fool's Day joke - there they were, one forwarded copy after another in my email inbox when I returned from the holidays, and for a week I haven't known what to do with this thing.
The short version is this: The chairwoman of the Alabama Democratic Party, Nancy Worley, sent a holiday letter to friends and Democrats all over the state describing, among other things, how she got stuck on the toilet and couldn't get up.
What do you do with something like that? Reading it is kind of like watching a dog humping a cat. You kind of want to stop it but you aren't sure how. Maybe you're supposed to be OK with it if they are OK with it. You feel shame for the part of you that is amused by it, and nothing will ever erase the image from your brain, but you'll still try to pretend it never happened.
But then there's another part of me that screams, But she put it in her damn Christmas letter to Democrats all around Alabama!
Only through some sort of late-inning Christmas miracle is blood not pouring from both my ears.
