My answer to a question Al Kamen asks:

House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) sent out a "Dear Colleague" e-mail Tuesday asking for signatures "to the attached letter to President Obama regarding the Middle East peace process."

The letter says the usual stuff, emphasizing that Washington "must be
both a trusted mediator and a devoted friend to Israel" and noting:
"Israel will be taking the greatest risks in any peace agreement."

Curiously, when we opened the attachment, we noticed it was named "AIPAC Letter Hoyer Cantor May 2009.pdf."

Seems as though someone forgot to change the name or
something. AIPAC? The American Israel Public Affairs Committee? Is that
how this stuff works?

Is that
how this stuff works?

Yes. Plus the money. Lots of it.

Signed:
A not devoted friend to Israel.
