Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli, who is not exactly known for his short e-mails, sent a brief 478-word diatribe into the ethos over the holiday weekend.

Morganelli’s latest missive to the media accuses incumbent Attorney General Tom Corbett of using taxpayer dollars to promote his re-election.

We’re shocked.

Morganelli, the Democratic candidate for AG, says that Corbett has diverted “hundreds of thousands of dollars, and maybe even a million dollars” that was earmarked for fighting illegal gun trafficking in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania in a “blatant and unaccounted use of public money” to raise his name recognition.
