Funniest junk mail of the month

Today I needed a good laugh after going 10 miles the wrong way on the Interstate. I certainly got one, in the form of this letter:

Dear Friend,
On behalf of the Executive Council of the National Republican Congressional Committee, I'm honored to inform you that your unfailing support of President Bush, the men and women who serve him, our nation and our Republican cause so impressed the Council they've nominated you for the NRCC's highest honor:
THE CONGRESSIONAL ORDER OF MERIT
I hope you'll accept this honor. You've certainly earned it, and the Executive Council agrees -- read this excerpt from the Council's nominating petition:
"...the Congressional Order of Merit holds within its beliefs that commitment, loyalty, and dedication of service to one's nation, as well as service to the Republican Party...
"...are the foundations for true leadership. Further, these attributes are sought by men and women from all walks of American life and are the demonstrated guideposts for such individuals of high moral and ethical character...
"It is with these ideals in mind, that we, the undersigned members of the Executive Council, place into nomination for the Congressional Order of Merit, Gary Mc Gath, who shares those beliefs and exemplifies the esteem and spirit this honor embodies."

(Ellipses in the original)

All right, I'll stop now before you die laughing. Skipping ahead, naturally, it turns out the point of the letter is that the NRCC wants money from me. For being that entertaining, I almost feel like giving them some money.

Almost.
