This belongs at the top of every Democratic blog in the universe. This story's breaking this afternoon in NY's 19th Congressional District via the The Middletown, NY Times Herald-Record, where the most righteous of all political journalists, Hunter S. Thompson, started his career.

I'm sure our nothing-less-than-awesomely progressive Congressman John Hall is going to have a field day with this outrageous piece. I hope this makes the top of every news outlet in the country in the next few hours. If you're reading this, please spread this one far and wide! Time's a wastin'!
