Politicians with Spunk

I was recently reading something about the bombing of a church in Alabama where four young black girls were killed and I came across a letter written in response to hate mail from the KKK to Attorney General Bill Baxley of Alabama after he re-opened the investigation years later. The Ku Klux Klan, in the letter, called him an "honorary nigger", compared him to JFK and wished him dead.

Baxley's response, on official state letterhead, contained only:

"My response to your letter of February 19, 1976, is - kiss my ass.
Sincerely,
Bill Baxley,
Attorney General"


Now, that is spunk. I respect spunk.
