Lawmaker's Wayward E-Mail Refers To Constituents As 'Idiots'

Assemblyman Willis Stephens says he thought he was sending the e-mail to an aide. Instead, he sent the note to nearly 300 people on an online discussion group that focuses on the community of Brewster.

The message included the comment that he was "just watching the idiots pontificate."

Within an hour of sending the message Monday morning, Stephens sent another e-mail apologizing for the slip-up.

Stephens, a Republican, represents an area north of New York City.

Pick your punchline:

-Now remind me, which is the "subject" line and which is the "to" line?
-Of course they're idiots, they elected him didn't they?
-Er, um I guess that should read: "soon to be ex-Assemblyman Willis Stephens..."
-This is all the fault of damn liberal email!
-"Hey, I meant it as a compliment, the President's and idiot too!"
