    [Read the article: Bloggers, Don Imus and free speech]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I like the Imus show for just the reason you pointed out--free wheeling--let your hair down--get down funny,sometimes.I like your columns and your style of writing for some of the same reasons. You can talk about a serious subject and find a way to inject humor into it.And there is the essence of what Imus finds Himself in--HUMOR--not acceptable in this instance,butttt!!! Humor sometimes takes a life of it,s own, if it,s good it starts rolling down a hill on it,s own steam dragging the"Humorist" with it as it picks up steam. This is where incorrect-Politically-comments crop up,on that downhill ride.This is clearly what happened to Don Imus and He knows it and has apologised for it. But come on Joan,for you to dismiss in an offhand way what Imus and His Wife are doing for "those kids"is going just about as far over the line as the comments He made!!! And you are a better writer and person than that.Don,t you think? Tommie27

    [Read the article: Wait, how did I miss Rush Limbaugh?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I think We should be V-E-R-Y- suspicious when Limblow says "I am making no extrapolations"! I suspect He is actually making them in His basement Lab! After all' He no longer has a Maid to get them for Him at the local Drug-Mart!!! Tommie27

  • WAR--SLAM DUNK FOR TENET

    [Read the article: George Tenet cashes in on Iraq]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    With all the money Tenet seems to be making from the "WAR" on terror you could say any war would be a "SLAM-DUNK" for Him. And the kids that are fighting and Dying are making a few pitiful hundred dollars a month.There is a special place in HELL for Sonofabitches like this!!!

  • Simon Says

    [Read the article: The Politico: Exhibit A for our broken political press]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

  • The Madness of King George

    [Read the article: All hail the king]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    In the realm of the real King George if the Jesters--which would be anyone but the King himself--were not loyal they could be subjected to NEUTERING! Much the same as We see being played out more and more each passing day with anyone who dares to stand for something such as--Truth--Integrity--Lawfulness--Not to mention that little paper entitled the CONSTITUTION!!! For the textbook definition of MADNESS,You need only to look towards Washington D.C. these days. Tommie27

  • Who Among Us

    [Read the article: Keith Olbermann calls it "betrayal"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Keith hit the nail right on the head when He said Who among us will stop this war! After all, the idiots in this administration have gotten us into such a mess it is a legitimate question.Their is nobody in Washington that can turn this quagmire around and this administration wants to toss it around like a hot coal until January 2009 and then it's BACK TO THE BRUSH PATCH to do the only thing this idiot seems to be any good at!!! Tommie27

  • Iraq Good For The Chinese

    [Read the article: Operation Iraqi Neighborhood Watch?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Since the only country so far to benefit from the war for oil has been China--thanks to the "IRAQI GOVERNMENT",maybe the thinking is that the local Sheiks can get the oil out to the U.S. companies through the back door--so to speak!!! Tommie27
