Kerry working for Rove?
[Read the article: White House: Kerry insulted the troops. Kerry: No, I insulted Bush]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Could someone in the Democratic party please put a muzzle on John Kerry and shove him back into moth balls until after the election?
Just when it appears that at least partial power can be wrenched from the grasp of the most incompetent and venal gang in memory, this cloddish stereotype reappears to frighten the electorate and remind them that Republicans may be destroying the country but God knows what a numbskull like this might do if given the chance.
Is Kerry actually working for Rove?
Please John, go away for a while.

More "Star Journalist" bungling
[Read the article: Run, Elizabeth, run]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Couric's inept badgering of the Edwards recalls the recent and equally dull witted Mike Wallace encounter with Iran president Ahmadinejad wherein Wallace appeared flustered by his man's straight forward and provocative answers to loaded questions. Unable to muster coherent follow-ups on the spot, the outmatched Wallace resorted to the hollow schtick that has served him so well over the years - raised eyebrows and knowing smirks coupled with "Oh, come on now, Mr. President." As a result, viewers came away with far less insight into the Iranian leader than he was ready to give us.
Couric's squirm-inducing session with John and Elizabeth Edwards merely underscores that she is a TV product manufactured in a boardroom - no more a real journalist than the perky lady who reads the weather report off a teleprompter.
Want to hear what the real deal sounds like? Tune into Warren Olney on KCRW anytime. And - TV Magazine Show producers take note - discover how not being able to see a TV interviewer's carefully contrived facial expressions subtracts nothing from the experience?

Don't count them out
[Read the article: Run, Elizabeth, run]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]No one - least of all those calling John Edwards "selfish" - can predict how long Mrs. Edwards will live or what the quality or circumstances of that life will be. What seems certain is that you don't abandon a life's path when the question of mortality is raised. Everybody knows where that path leads ultimately. Like the lady says....WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE SOME TIME.
Cancer like life is capricious. As one with some experience in the matter, I have
learned the best way is to accept it and treat it - however menacing - as a damned nuisance and not hunker down or surrender to any perceived "inevitability." Who knows? What with scientific progress and luck, Elizabeth Edwards might well outlive anyone you can name, see her husband through two terms and turn a shovel of dirt for his presidential library. I hope she does. God bless her.

[Read the article: "The Sopranos" prediction pool]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Maybe he's last because he represents the billions of people on the planet who have never seen nor will ever see the show and whose eyes will glaze over when you start to tell them about it. Maybe it's somebody's idea of putting everything in perspective and saying "life do go on. It really do."
