FAFO, Reid Rasner. You aligned yourself with the devil. Don't be surprised when you get burned. You had to have known this would happen, and if you didn't, you're not intelligent enough to be in government.

I happen to be one of those people. Shame on you. But maybe you'll learn something. I doubt it, but maybe you will.
