  • Aniston

    [Read the article: Our Jennifer fixation]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I cannot believe I paid money to get shallow articles about TV celebrities.

  • Washington Post's ombudsman

    [Read the article: Can't stand the heat? Turn off the comments]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The Washington Post and the New York Times have shown me that the conservatives are right about one thing. You cannot trust the major media outlets.

    Very disturbing and sad.

  • How many Generals does it take to get rid of a Rumsfeld?

    [Read the article: The generals vs. the secretary of defense]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    None if you have a president who is sane.

  • McClellan

    [Read the article: Mission accomplished? There you go again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Good grief, hasn't he left yet?

    I wonder how he will word his resume for his job search. Perhaps he can just be honest and say he is a terrible liar. That should be confusing enough.

  • Cohen

    [Read the article: Cohen: Colbert was rude, and his defenders are dangerous]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Regarding the emails Cohen has received: Cohen seems to have gone to the Bush Neocon School of Human Relations where they teach (preach?) that the average U.S. citizen is not smart enough to initiate an email on their own.

    .

    He appears to also be among those who see their power to shape public opinion being usurped by the multitude of forums open to us via the internet. And he does not like it. How dare we seek new avenues of information and opinion. Had it not been for the internet, most of us would probably never have known about Colbert's remarks at that dinner for dinosaurs.

  • Mary is like her father.

    [Read the article: Mary Cheney and the F-bomb]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She has shown us she has the same lack of any grace, charm, or good manners.

    As the daughter of a wealthy and very powerful man, she will likely never have to worry about her civil rights being badly abused because she is gay. But that same man will allow it to happen to other gay people. Too bad they don't all have a daddy who is VP.

  • Rove

    [Read the article: The Rove watch, or when no news is no news]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I have been waiting and waiting. I so hope that the longer it takes just means the more likely there will be an indictment and a conviction.

    But there will always be a pardon waiting in the wings. Or should I say in the West Wing.

  • I quit watching...

    [Read the article: Series wrap-up: "Will & Grace"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    ..after a couple of seasons. But Karen and Jack were the most fun. My friends and I all wanted to be Karen.

    I think a sitcom with Karen and Elaine (yeah, from Seinfeld) would be fun.

  • It was fun at first.

    [Read the article: Finale wrap-up: "Desperate Housewives"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    When the show started I thought it fun and it seemed to have a real mystery plot line.

    I started losing interest during the first season when they had Bree dating right after her husband's death. Her character had been presented as someone who loves to do everything just right and is obsessed with being a perfect wife, mother, hostess, homemaker, etc. This was someone who read every last word of Emily Post. She would NEVER have a date mere weeks after a husband's death. She might want to -- but she would not so easily toss her desire to be the socially perfect widow -- or at least appear to be. It was too much of a personality switch for me to buy. And when I it takes too much work to suspend disbelief then I'm going to find something else to do.

    I did continue to watch for awhile. But not only is character development hit or miss, the plot is apparently not very important to the writers, either. No people or plot worth trying to follow. Boring.

  • Another drink anyone?

    [Read the article: Anderson Cooper in jail?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Just what the young graduates wanted to hear; a speech that includes a variation on the theme of "When I was your age..." No doubt they fell asleep at that point and missed the weirdness of the rest of his remarks.

    Very odd speech (and yes, I get it that it was supposed to be satire or sarcasm or something). I say Weingarten seemed to be doing a perfect imitation of the "nincompoops ranting in their underpants."

  • Snow

    [Read the article: Gay marriage, civil rights and the Rose Garden event that wasn't]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I wondering if good ole' Tony wowed them in his press secretary job interview by promising to play the fool any day and every day. If so, he is living up to his vow.

    Snow -- perfect name for the job.

  • Inhofe conveniently doesn't mention how many adulterers are in his family.

    [Read the article: But what if pride goeth before a fall?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I just cannot get over the fact that someone as clueless as Inhofe is in such a position of power. And there are more just like him.

    Good grief --- how DO these people get elected? Or even find their shoes every morning?

    It will be great fun though if and when we find out Inhofe himself is gay.

  • It does matter.

    [Read the article: Truthout reporter stands by the "Rove indicted" story]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Mr. Goodwin, you make some very good points. I think you are correct that most people do not understand Plamegate and don't care about it.

    And most people also don't know how dangerous Karl Rove is to the electorial system. One of the reasons I am very disappointed that Rove is not yet to be indicted is because we have an election soon. This man is a master of election manipulation.

    So even if people don't know much about Plamegate it would have been great to have his mind focused on a trial rather than focused on how to elect more corrupt Republicans.

    Since I suspect that many of his tactics may be illegal, perhaps Rove will eventually be indicted and tried for his crimes.

    A girl can hope, anyway.

  • What else should we expect?

    [Read the article: Ann Coulter and plagiarism by the numbers]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    By having Coulter as one of their authors, Crown and Random House have already shown us that character, honesty, and ethics are of no concern of theirs. So we should not be shocked that they find just a little plagerism acceptable. Maybe they will also find just a little lawsuit filed by those they have plagerized to be acceptable as well.

    And by their standards if a mugger only takes, say, $25.00 it's not really a mugging. It's accepting a donation.
