I'll have to admit, when I saw this message last night, I was worried that we were being punked.

But then this morning, the person who forwarded that e-mail admitted to doing so:
Storck, who owns a nursery in east Hillsborough County, initially defended the e-mail. [...] It was supposed to be an internal e-mail, Storck said, and someone releasing it to the media was an attempt to "sabotage the Republican Party."
Later, however, Storck said he did not endorse the statement. Thursday afternoon, he sent a followup e-mail offering his "sincere apology."
Wow.
