Reported on PBS this morning:
Some Congressman (can't remember who) had been lurking a listserv of his people in his district to find out public opinions on things. After reading messages from the listserv, he emailed a staffer saying that he was "listening to the idiots pontificate." He must have hit the wrong button because the email was sent instead to the entire listserv, so some 300 constituents now have read the email, and are wondering who is the real idiot.
