Folger Mantissa posted to Jeff Foxworthy

Hello Mr. Foxworthy. I was wondering if you would clear up whether or not you wrote the "On the Fence" piece that starts out...
"If a Republican doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one.
If a Democrat doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Republican is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat.
If a Democrat is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone."
...and goes on from there. I don't think either the comedy or the writing are your style, but it seems always to be attributed to you.
Thanks for answering, if you decide to.

I did not write this Folger. A lot of times people slap my name on stuff that I would never think of. There was also a bunch of Muslim jokes going around that people thought I wrote. It is a shame really, because these are divisive and sometimes downright hateful. Having my name associated with it is a real bummer.
