To: Vassar Bushmills <vbushmills@thesandsinstitute.org>
Mr. Bushmills-
My main purpose is to ask you about your recent blog post concerning Christine O'Donnell, along with related issues regarding the contingent of Americans whom you've done such a fine job in representing. More specifically, my purpose is to ask you questions that are going to end up making you look like a fool despite the fact that I am giving you fair warning of this in advance and will even give you the questions in writing. As for my bona fides, I write for Vanity Fair, Skeptical Inquirer, Skeptic, D Magazine, Huffington Post, New York Press, and other publications, am the author of two books, serve as director of communications for the atheist PAC Enlighten the Vote, and am the founder of the distributed think-tank Project PM.
As a further handicap, I will also allow you to ask me any questions you'd like, grant you permission to post or otherwise distribute any of our communications including this one, and will additionally consider any other conditions you may care to put forth.
That would be me. For security reason you'll need to establish your purpose and bona fides via email. Sorry, I'm pretty amiable, but still...you understand. Then I'll send a phone number.
My name is Barrett Brown and I'm a contributor to a couple of publications such as Vanity Fair and the Skeptical Inquirer. I am trying to get in contact with a fellow who writes at Red State under the name of Vassar Bushmills. I would very much like to speak to him, so if he would be interested in doing so, please have him get back to me at his convenience.
