Gotta love typos, especially by the Hayworth campaign

From the Washington Post column 'The Reliable Source':

Let's Move Along, Folks. It's Just a Little Typoe.

A campaign breakfast or presidential launch? A recent e-mail from Rep. J.D. Hayworth 's reelection campaign invited supporters to join the Arizona Republican, his wife and "The Honorable Dan Quayle , 44th President of the United States."

Whoa! How did we miss this? Mr. Potatoe Head running in 2008?

Well . . . no. Quayle was actually the 44th vice president, but a typo dropped the "vice" and started a buzz among startled GOPers who thought Quayle wanted to be the next -- that would be 44th -- president.

"We did have a couple people wondering if this was his big announcement," said Todd Sommers , Hayworth's campaign manager. A correction was quickly issued; at press time, the only heart-pounding element at the June 24 event will be the coffee.

I do have one question.

I miss all of the good stuff and I signed up for JD's email list a long time ago. So far, I have received squat.

I'm feeling really unappreciated here. You'd think that all of the times I have put his name out in the blogosphere would rate an automated 'howdy' once in a while.

He simply chooses to use his time more wisely

Oh that's easy...he chooses to spend his time on worthwile things, not by wasting it on people who don't care.

Actually, after posting this, I went to his campaign website to try to sign up again.

At that site, I remember that I have signed up on his House website for his 'official' messages (still haven't received any though) but his campaign website wants your snail-mail addy and phone number, too.

Not going to happen.
