Return to sender New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, scolds Republicans on every front in his latest fundraising letter that reached the mailbox of Darren McKinney of Washington. As a Democrat, Mr. McKinney has heard it all before, and now writes back: "Dear Chuck: You may recall I was a House communications director back in the mid-90s just after we Dems got swamped by Newt [Gingrich's] tsunami. As such, I participated in countless morning message meetings wherein you and Rosa [DeLauro] and George [Miller] and Dick [Gephardt] and Sheila [Jackson Lee] and Alcee [Hastings] would sit around concocting lies about GOP intentions. "From 'Medi-scare' and 'they're gutting student loans' to 'privatizing' Social Security and 'America is less safe,' you've been lying like rugs ever since, and the left-wing media have aided and abetted you at every turn. If the Republicans have to spend millions or billions on some dirty politics of their own to counterbalance all that, it seems only fair. "When you're willing to tell the trial lawyers, lazy no-good union bums and out-of-wedlock breeding machines to go get lost, I'll again take you and your party seriously. Until then, save your breath and postage, I'll have nothing to do with you."
