We aren’t certain what the requirements are to obtain and keep a position as administrative assistant in WA state Senator Jim McDermott’s office are, especially in this time of high unemployment, but this clip goes a long way toward answering my question of why I never receive the courtesy of even an insincere form letter when I write on important issues. Suddenly I feel the overwhelming urge to write often about anything and everything, I believe you’ll see why in WTF?!?
McDermott’s administrative assistant is played here by the man in drag. It chronicles the extended back and forth via email between an unnamed and extremely apologetic executive assistant at McBee Consulting and – McDermott’s Admin. assistant Elizabeth Beckton, not to be confused with a lovely Dr. Liz Beckton, or others of similar name.
What should have been a simple request for a meeting, first was ignored by Ms Beckman for five days. McBee got an answer if not THE answer when Beckman noted a
subsequent email calling her (drum roll please) – LIZ!
You truly must see this to believe it! Each day “Elizabeth” unleashed new fury and paranoia at the hapless representative from McBee. You see, she explained in a fury that “I roll with a lot of women who use the same first name,” making it abundantly clear that she hated to be called LIZ, and probably “rolls” with a steam roller. She also informed the poor unwitting representative that this was a HOT BUTTON!!!! McBee had gathered this I’m quite certain. This correspondence started on May 22, and was still going on the 27th, with the McBee representative still trying to smooth cuckoo bird feathers and apologizing. I’ve no idea
whether the meeting was arranged, but I do know that I cannot do this justice, you truly must see and hear the Olbermann Players perform this lunatic email rampage!
