A member of Congress ends a letter to a constituent with this: "I think you're an asshole." Apparently, it's all a big mistake, and apologies are being made.

DULLARD FLASHBACK: I had a similar embarrassment, but mine's from childhood. I was visiting a family down the street, a traditional Catholic household with five kids, a stay-at-home mom and a dad who was an officer at the local Navy base. A baseball game was on TV. One of the teams playing was the Oakland Athletics. "My dad calls them the Oakland A-Holes," I said. After a hush, I was told to go home.
