Joe, Let's talk

I need you to do something for me, ok? It's something I'm pretty terrible at -- but I'm guessing with all your experience you'll be okay.

Hi.

I'm Erin. I'm no one really, just another voter with a blog.

Seems you're going to be our next Vice President.

Good job.

I need you to do something for me though, ok? It's something I'm pretty terrible at -- but I'm guessing with all your experience you'll be ok.

Don't say anything stupid.

I know, mistakes happen. And your record and years of service make you more than worthy for this position.

But Dude...between you and I....you say some crazy shit every once in a while.

I say some crazy shit sometimes too, so I understand. But I'm also not a Senator, or Vice President of the United States.

Your resume is outstanding, you're said to be a helluva guy. I hear I'm going to LOVE your wife.

But if you have another oratory oopsie with racial overtones, I think your boss might kick your ass.

Oh, and I will too.

I've been working on my rhetoric, and keeping things non-offensive and sane and fair...so how about you try too?

Maybe we can work on it together.

See you in Denver, Senator.

xoxoxo,

Erin Kotecki Vest
