Stupid email of the day: Happy Birthday Dear Leader
This is going out from Bruce Lindsey, CEO of the William J. Clinton Foundation, via another guy. They're asking everybody to send Bill Clinton birthday greetings in the wake of his trip to North Korea recently to free two U.S. journalists. What's great about it is that the letter's bootlicking tone of worship and personality cult is exactly what's required of the people who work for Kim Jong Il in North Korea.
Dear Jay, We were all thrilled and moved when former President Bill Clinton brought journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee safely home to their families from North Korea.Let's send birthday greetings to President Clinton to thank him for his tireless humanitarian efforts.
Bob FertikDear Friend,
In the 40 years that I’ve known President Bill Clinton, he continues to amaze me every day with his intellect, compassion, and energy.Since leaving office, he’s never taken a break from working on the issues he deeply cares about – both here in the U.S. and across the globe.
To show President Clinton your appreciation, I invite you to send him a personal note for his birthday today.
Your birthday e-card will make his special day -- August 19 -- even happier. After you send your note, you’ll receive email updates from Bill Clinton, as well as ways to get involved in the work of the Clinton Foundation.
Thanks to President Clinton’s extraordinary vision and the involvement of caring individuals like you, the Clinton Foundation makes a significant impact in the lives of hundreds of millions of people around our world. For example:
• Two million people in developing countries now have access to low-priced HIV/AIDS medicine, and we’ve just negotiated new pricing agreements that will enable better, cheaper treatments for more patients in the developing world. • Thousands of schools across the United States have put healthy-eating and exercising programs into practice, so that more children are leading healthier lives. • To combat climate change, 40 of the world’s largest cities are making progress in reducing their carbon footprint.Will you take a moment today to thank President Clinton for creating positive change around our world?
In honor of Bill Clinton’s birthday, send an e-card today with your personal note.
I know your birthday e-cards and donations will mean a whole lot to President Clinton.Thank you,
Bruce Lindsey
Chief Executive Officer
William J. Clinton Foundation
