Don't Mess with Erie

Commenting to Senator Arlen Specter on his recent political party switch, Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss) asked, "Does this mean I don’t have to go to Erie [Pa.] anymore?" to Specter at the Republicans' weekly lunch.

Although it is not clear what Sen. Specter's real time response was; he told the Huffington Post that Sen. Cochran is welcome in Erie anytime.

My reaction is not as polite.

Dear Thad (Can I call you Thad?),
I don't want you here, in my hometown. I'm not sure if you posses any Southern hospitality or Southern charm, but judging from your comments, I would presume that answer is no. I don't speak for all Erie-ites, just the ones who were offended. Please stay in the South and learn some manners.
Thanks,
kc
P.S. I am surprised that as a politician you have not learned tact. Your comments were rude, uncalled for, offensive, and unnecessary. Don't mess with Erie!
