Attack that hack, Glenn!
[Read the article: Answers for Joe Klein]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You go, Glenn...rip the Beltway hacks like Broder and Klein to shreds...Klein lost all respectability with his pathetic "Primary Colors". So many times his columns reflect a removal from reality that is typical of him, Broder, Sally Quinn and all the other mainstream media clowns who ass lick Bush, Rove and all the other crooks in DC. It is the mainstream media pundits who got us into Iraq. Their rah-rah support of Bush's contrived war is as much a condemnation of them as it is Chimpy.

God Save The Queen
[Read the article: The impertinent prince]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Ah, Bush, the sterling representative of America to the world...love that his idea of American "culture" are football players and other sports figures...honestly, this man is off his rocker.

Champeen Phony
[Read the article: Newt's novel ideas]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Poor Newt...he can gussy up his far-fringe ideas in serious sounding phrases, but the core of the matter is he is a deeply flawed man, damaged goods...they run him for President and whoever the Dem nominee is would thrash him.

Ambushed
[Read the article: The Democratic Don Quixote]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Tim Russert's grilling of Richardson was ruthless...granted, it exposed some big chinks in his armor, but still I seriously doubt that Rudy or John McPain would ever get the scrutiny Richardson did...with an excellent resume, Richardson should be batting it out of the ballpark. Sad.

Tony Who?
[Read the article: Give my petards to Broadway]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't think the theater audience would court the crowd who watch "The Sopranos"...celebrating thuggery isn't exactly the aim of theater crowd...Tony Soprano represents a stereotype that even the actor himself is sick of. It's boring, it's stupid and demeaning to many an Italian American who cannot relate to these mentally deficient lowlifes. TV dwells in such idiotic stereotypes all the time. Will and Grace was the Amos and Andy of gay characters...no, anyone with a brain won't be watching the nitwits on The Sopranos.

Thank God for the NY Tourists
[Read the article: Give my petards to Broadway]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Vidor sneered:
Why will more people watch The Sopranos? Because nobody but New York tourists has seen any of the plays up for the Tonys, so no one cares.
We love those tourists because they bring in more money to the City than HBO could possibly ever make on their ignorant piece of crap. New Yorkers love Broadway because it celebrates life, rather than celebrating violence and murder, as does The Sopranos and many other godawful shows. Watch your dumb show...we'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

TIME TO RECONSIDER?

JFK
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Whining about JFK? Awww, isn't it just so sad that the architecture and length of escalator tire out this poor wimp who wrote this?...poor baby...buck up!

Hillary or Barack
[Read the article: Hillary's hard-won experience]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some here claim Hillary will be "more of the same"...that was the absurd argument Nader supporters gave of Gore vs. Bush...we saw how ridiculous and consequently dangerous that argument was. We have soldiers dying for the difference between Gore and Bush. Hillary or Rudy...more of the same...if you think they would be the same, I have a bridge I can sell you...remember, Hillary kicked Rudy's ass before, and she would do it again. Romney would be destroyed by her...I was just in Mormon country, Salt Lake City. What a scary, bizarre place...

Sympathize
[Read the article: What's worse -- my breast cancer, or my relatives trying to "help" me?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My Mother when she was diagnosed with colon cancer 25 years ago got the same from some relatives...her being a very secular, agnostic person, she set them straight really quickly. That's what you need to do, without being rude. The problem with religious zealots is they do not respect boundaries, whether its the separation of church and state, or one's personal relationship with religion. Simply put, they need to mind their own business...spirituality doesn't need to be proselytized if it has any true purpose...fine that they feel the holy spirit...just don't put it in my face, thank you! It is the height of rudeness to impose one's own personal values on others.

Sidney hits a homer...
[Read the article: The imperial vice presidency]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Splendid, as always
No one blends original (thought anonymously sourced) reporting with punditry so skillfully as Sidney Blumenthal. He has led the way, far in front of the pack, in reporting on the Bush White House.
-- overlander
Exactly right...Sidney has once again hit the ball out of the park with a superb take on the devastating Post series on Cheney's usurpation of power. Cheney has been planning and waiting to construct an imperial vice presidency for years. When right wing trolls prattled on about a Clinton co-presidency with Hillary, it meant nothing in comparison to what Cheney is doing. That's why I laugh when trolls still trot out that tired canard, "who will run the White House if Hillary wins?"...well, we all know what happened between Bush and Cheney. What is deeply disturbing is the mainstream media's acquiescence in this matter, and their desire to be bullied, threatened and hoodwinked by Cheney and his team. The Dems in Congress have a unique opportunity to destroy what Cheney has built once and for all...this can only be achieved with his impeachment. Nothing less. Restoring our democracy is in their hands. If they fail, you can kiss America goodbye.

Oh well
[Read the article: Why I returned my iPhone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As I tell everyone I know, Mac products are pure shit...would never have any of them...sorry, not buying into the hype...congrats to Farhad...the fools who waited for this garbage are a sorry lot.

Sidney Delivers Again
[Read the article: Cooking the intelligence, again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sidney Blumenthal has been writing some of the best critiques of the Bush Administration of anyone out there. This is stellar work, Sidney. THANKS!

Right You Are
[Read the article: Sleepless in the Senate]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Stop being wimps and get on TV and call Bush out! Demand he explain how granting himself the powers of a dictator is in keeping with his conservative philosophy of “smaller government”???
-- chris49068
Chris, I agree completely...the Dems are still letting the slimey Repigs walk all over them...stand up, grow a set and start bringing these crooks up on charges...start with Miers and Rove...there are more than enough impeachable offenses to nail Bush and Cheney...no more shillyshallying and worrying about what the Repigs think or the right wing media clowns...smack them down, trample all over the Bushies!
