Dear Mr. Attorney General Mike Cox,

I am writing to ask for your endorsement for the position of Attorney General, which I expect to pursue in 2010.  As you can see from my interview with this blog that I censored, I believe I am well qualified.

As you know, the position of Attorney General is all about dispensing justice, and for the past two years I have been tirelessly punishing Michigan residents for the crime of electing Granholm.  (HATE HER) I spent all of 2007 obstructing the budget process to the point of a government shutdown, even though we had an agreement as early as May.  I have also encouraged unscrupulous drug manufacturers and drunk or otherwise reckless drivers to wreak havoc on Michigan voters, by obstructing legislation that would protect so-called "victims."  I have never allowed any action on legislation that would stop Canadians from dumping their refuse in our residents' back yards, and I watered down the RPS to the point that it's nearly worthless.  Even Michigan's natural resources cannot escape Mike Bishop!  

And don't even get me started on what I do to Senators who try to pass legislation, or to bloggers who say bad things about me.

For more of what I have not done, please visit this site and select any Senate Committee.  There you can see evidence of my commitment to dispensing justice to Michigan's voters.

I hope you will agree that I am the best man for your job.

Sincerely,
Senator Bishop

The Mike Cox response is over the fold ..

Dear Mr. Bishop,

Thank you for expressing your interest in my endorsement for the position of AG in 2010.  

While you have done an outstanding job punishing Michigan's families, such as your intentional obstruction of legislation to ensure fair and equal insurance rates for all of Michigan's residents, the fact is that qualities such as this can be found in any Michigan Republican.  The person to follow in my shoes must strive for an excellence in electoral politics that I do not see in you.  Can you carry on an extramarital affair while lecturing Michigan citizens about the sanctity of marriage?  Do you have the audacity to write to the Supreme Court of another state and ask them to delay their ruling on gay marriage?  

Senator, I'll give you credit for your refusal to act on the moratorium for home foreclosures that would stem the current crisis and keep Michigan residents in their homes.  I was also quite proud when you delayed the smoke-free legislation for so long that members of your own caucus were calling you an obstructionist.  But Michigan's Grand Old Party cannot rely simply on obstruction.  We need men of action!  Your refusal or inability to target a specific demographic that can be used as a wedge issue in elections tells me that you lack discipline and vision.  

I am afraid that I cannot endorse you at this time.

Sincerely,
Mike Cox
