I know Twitter can be hard to work well, but an answering machine?

A Wisconsin democrat [Fred Clark-ed.] running in a recall election left a message on a woman’s answering machine. The democrat said he ought to smack her around in a message he didn’t know was being recorded.

Okay, Mr. Clark, here’s a tip. Make sure the phone is completely hung up (for a landline, that usually means either the handset is firmly in the cradle and/or the “line” light goes off; for cell phones, there will usually be a “call ended” message) before saying you’d like to smack a voter around.
