Excerpt:
With former Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) now out of Congress, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is hoping to capitalize off the sale of a small piece of the ex-congressman's short, colorful legacy.
A letter addressed to the Florida chapter of CAIR, printed on West's stationery and signed by the former congressman, is currently listed on eBay for a starting bid of $1,000. It's described as "possibly [the] shortest letter from Congress in US History."
The note -- which features the lone word, "NUTS!" -- was reported on in 2011, when West gave the terse response to local CAIR leaders after being called upon by the group to denounce "anti-Muslim activists." At the time, the Miami New Times called it perhaps "the dumbest thing ever written on congressional stationery."
