Crazy Political Activists

I just got a call from the California Republican Party, asking me to donate money to the cause to make sure that a Democrat is not elected to be our state's next governor. This guy was all crazy and out of breath the whole time, and I stayed on the line for a while just because it was so funny. The thing that really tipped me off was when he mentioned something about a "left-wing liberal nightmare," Phil Angelides (the Democratic candidate)--but he pronounced it "phil an-guh-lides." I said, "Wait, wait, hold on a second--you mean Phil an-juh-lee-dess, right?" He paused a moment, then said, "Yes, you're absolutely right sir, I pronounced that wrong, I've been campaigning all day long, sir, to keep the liberals from...."

I pretty much stopped listening after that.
