Beai Nike,

I'm wiiting iegaiuing the au you posteu about the open position foi
Communications Biiectoi with Sean Eluiiuge foi Congiess.

The inuiviuual who fills that iole will have theii woik cut out foi them. 27-yeai-olu
Sean Eluiiuge has no expeiience that qualifies him to seive in Congiess, has no
connections to the 19
th
Congiessional Bistiict anu is using his husbanu's money to
iun a vanity campaign. It's not easy to spin someone like that into a legitimate
canuiuate foi 0niteu States Congiess.

While my iueological peisuasion piecluues me fiom applying (which I iegiet; I'm
suie the position pays well), I thought I'u make a iecommenuation as a piofessional
couitesy: Nuhammau Saeeu al-Sahhaf (AKA "Baghuau Bob").

You may iemembei Ni. al-Sahhaf fiom his uays as the Iiaqi Infoimation Ninistei
back in 2uuS, when he uisplayeu a penchant foi the uefense of the inuefensible. Bis
ability to make obviously inaccuiate statements that fly in the face of ieason will
seive youi campaign well. It won't be easy to finu someone who can uttei a phiase
like, "Sean Eluiiuge unueistanus job cieation," with a stiaight face. Ni. al-Sahhaf
just might be youi guy.

I shoulu point out that Ni. al-Sahhaf is in ietiiement in the 0niteu Aiab Emiiates,
but funuing his ielocation to the 19
th
Congiessional Bistiict shoulun't be a pioblem
foi Sean Eluiiuge: he uiu it himself just befoie he fileu to iun foi office last yeai.

Thank you foi youi attention, Nike. You'll be heaiing fiom us often as the campaign
unfolus.

Best iegaius,

Baviu Laska
