It seems the chair of the Alabama Democratic Party gave her friends and colleagues a little too much information in her annual holiday letter.

During a long-winded tale about her knee injury, Chairwoman Nancy Worley threw in a paragraph about how she got stuck on her toilet, according to a copy of the letter received by Alabama Media Group columnist Kyle Whitmire.

“April brought another trauma to my knees which balked when I tried to rise from my lowly 14″ commode. Again, I sat for hours awaiting Wade’s scheduled arrival; however his attempt to lift me was futile — when he pulled me up, he fell backwards and I fell on my knees again,” Worley wrote in the letter. “Solution: We installed the tallest-available, 17 1/2″ commode and a pull-up bar on my bathroom wall.”

At least Worley prevented future incidents with the new toilet.

Whitmire seemed traumatized by the letter.

“What do you do with something like that?” he wrote. “You feel shame for the part of you that is amused by it, and nothing will ever erase the image from your brain, but you’ll still try to pretend it never happened.”

But Worley brushed off his confusion and didn’t understand why anyone cared all that much about her letter.

“Quite frankly, if someone cares about one minute detail in a letter, then they must not have anything interesting going on,” she told Whitmire when asked about the toilet anecdote.

    Speak for yourself, buddy. I’m having a guilt-and-shame-free ROFL as I type.

    Well I for one can certainly see the Ho Ho Ho in all this. Something to do with her making a Yule Log…

    But I’ll bet she could have found a means of ejecting her from that throne if Larry Craig’s meandering foot had wandered into her stall space.

  3. Foot-bullets…they’re not just for Republicans. :frowning:

  4. Huh. Wonder why she has knee problems.

  5. I suppose it beats reading her tips on how she removes fecal stains from her underwear.
