We at Twitchy have received a lot of enjoyment from the increasingly desperate tone of Democrat fundraising email headers; even die-hard liberals like Josh Marshall and Dan Savage are more amused than upset at this point by the over-the-top pleas for campaign cash.
Commentary editor John Podhoretz thought he was making a joke when he wondered when the DSCC would give up on language and just start screaming.
At what point do the DSCC email subject-lines just read like this: 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"

@jpodhoretz you mean there hasn't been one like that already?

No joke; the DSCC might still be coherent enough to use words to beg for cash, but one follower showed that the Democratic Governors Association really has given in to screaming.

It’s not that difficult to come up with desperate email headers, is it?

By the way, these emails always promise a matching gift. I hope they're not lying about there being a matching gift; wouldn't that be fraud?

@jpodhoretz Have you ever known Democrats to lie?
