An Open Letter from The Nor’Easter to Newt

Listen here, you white-haired dough-faced serial-screwing alleged historian, you do not get to use Eye of the Tiger in campaign appearances. And I’m glad the guy who wrote it is saying No Way Newt.

That song belongs to us fighters, even lame-assed ones, like me. I actually have Survivor’s version on my playlist twice. And I have Gloria Gaynor’s version. Also twice. I am well aware of my dorkiness.

I am a fighter. I go to my heavy bag, and once I start my new job, I’ll be going back to my favorite boxing gym. I have made myself stronger without making others weaker. Others have helped me, held my arms in the right position, wrapped my hands properly, and re-wrapped them when I sprained my wrists, even being kind enough to button my shirt.

“Eye of the Tiger” belongs to those who answer a challenge within themselves, not to those who whine constantly when journalists ask how you can go after the evangelical vote with three marriages under your belt, how you can take 1.5 million from a stumbling quasi-government agency and still claim to be small government; how you trot your daughters out to defend your sex life and claim to be respectful of family.

Seriously, fuck you.

Anyhoo,

Since Eye of the Tiger is being taken away from you — poor thing! Let me suggest another song.
