Democratic Memo to Staffers on Getting Innoculations Before Going to NASCAR Races Has to Be a Joke: It Can't Be Real

This is one of those stories that are almost unbelievable.

Almost.

A staffer with the House Committee on Homeland Security sent out a memo to fellow staffers advising them to get inoculated before attending NASCAR races in Alabama and in North Carolina. Among the innoculations needed: Hepatitus A & B, tetanus, diphtheria, influenza, and others.

NASCAR fans responded by suggesting that NASCAR fans get inoculated against Congressional visits.

At first I thought it was a private e-mail/joke that became public, but apparently it's real. And the Republicans are sniping at the Democrats over it too. Both sides are going after NASCAR fans for support in the elections, but this error could cost the Democrats some potential undecided voters.

It's been interesting watching this unfold.
