So Ted, What's Really on Your Mind?

Under the category of "Capitol Notes" the Oregon Legislature is in session (Oh Jeez!) and Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli was clearly having a bad day when he responded to a letter writer from Greece writing him to save the wolves as follows:

"Are you kidding?" he wrote, incredulous that a foreigner would try to get involved. Then he added: "By the way, perhaps I should be writing to EU ministers to stop bailing out Greece. Clearly it has become a haven for morons.

"Go away!"

While I have some sympathy for his response, and it's true that there aren't many votes to be had in Greece, this is a letter that in retrospect he might have better to let sit on his desk overnight and gone back to it the next morning when he was a little fresher.
