Charlottesville Vows To "Bitch Slap" Falls Church

Creigh, is there nothing you can do?  The good people of Charlottesville have clearly gone off their prescribed medications. 

As word spread today in the normally docile downstate community about Mayor Norris' throwdown voter turnout challenge to the people of Falls Church City, the Charlottesville natives have reacted, well, let us just say poorly, to the sudden head rush of competition. 

The local Charlottesville blog cVillain.com has chronicled the reaction.  The self-described "hippy trippy liberals with STDs" of Charlottesville are now vowing to "bitch slap" Falls Church and to use our gift of a much beloved sassafras tree as a toothbrush before consuming it in the form of ecstasy. 

Oh my.

Notoriously competitive, and a New Jersey native, Falls Church Mayor Robin Gardner was asked to comment on the escalating developments. 

"Bitch slap?  Did they really say bitch slap?'" asked one of only two female mayors in Northern Virgina. "Oh, this is not so good.  Not good at all.  Somebody may have to take a cab."

Charlottesville is clearly struggling under the pressure of coming within 20 percentage points of our highest-in-the-Commonwealth voter turnout numbers.  A historically tightly strung community most noted as the home of Thomas Jefferson, an eccentric pack rat collector of animal skins who made his guests sleep in closets and designed his gardens to mimic the ample bosoms of slave women (of which he was particularly fond), the people of Charlottesville are obviously under undue pressure.

But somebody should stop this before it gets out of control and good people have to take a cab.
