spot on...

They both look bad--the Senator, for his boorish response(if true), and the biker, for his rambling letter. If the cyclist had a valid point, it could have been made concisely, skillfully, with less emotion for greater impact. I don't want either of these guys representing me, as a Senator or a cycling advocate.
