The last day of the second quarter has produced a deluge of aggressive, frantic, panicked, obsequious and stalkerish emails from both parties, but two Democratic committees have really outdone themselves.

[Recipient] —

I like sending you emails on Saturdays about as much as you probably like receiving them.

And I promise you, this will be the last email you get from me today.

Enjoy your weekend — and thank you, ever so much.
