E-Mails Between Corzine and Union Leader Revealed

No wonder former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine didn't want his e-mails with his former paramour and union boss revealed. He comes off looking like a blithering illiterate.
E-mails exchanged at the peak of the public controversy over Corzine’s history with Katz show the pair engaged in heated back-and-forth about the language they should use when describing their relationship in public. After having broken off their romance in 2004, Corzine told Katz in 2007 that he was consciously trying to downplay their continuing friendship.

"I was ttrying tonot usse the word romantic. That should have been obvios," he wrote on March 8, 2007. Less than five minutes later, he added: "I undwerstand angst but I am trying noyt to make news! Let’s try to calm this thing down."

Katz was not calm. Media scrutiny of her relationship with Corzine was intensifying after The Star-Ledger revealed on March 4 that the multimillionaire governor had given Katz far more in financial gifts than he previously disclosed.

At 8:05 p.m. that day, Katz sounded livid, sending Corzine a three-paragraph message that accused him of violating the terms of the deal they struck after breaking up. She said Corzine was hurting her children and implored him to consider people other than himself.

"We had a clear confidentiality agreement that youve now breached. Please stop. No more," Katz wrote. "As hard as it might be...you must say ‘some things are private’ … You have got to stop hurting me like this."

Katz grew furious over the way she had been described by the hosts and callers on New Jersey 101.5 FM radio.

"An you don’t understand my angst," she wrote at 2:53 p.m. on March 8. "You were not referred to as a SLUT-WHORE for hours at a time over the past three days."

Corzine, at 3:19 p.m., said he understood how she felt, in terms far out of character for a governor who was usually loath to display emotion or launch personal attacks in public.

"Those guys are scumam ihate what they say about you. Youa3e my friend but we need tocalm that down," he wrote.
Remember how much fun the media elites had when Sarah Palin had a typo in a Facebook post a couple of weeks ago? I can't wait to see how them scoff at one of their own.

All the emails and reaction can be found here.

Speaking of the elitist media, I recall the NY Daily News chuckling about Palin. Well, those dummies can't even get Corzine's first name right.
