He could have been our President.
I'm trying to imagine Carter or Gore or Obama writing something like this to a former colleague. I cannot fathom it.
I think it is unlikely that either Clinton would write something so hostile and petty that might get out in public. Not because they are gracious (see above for that) but because they are too self-aware to intentionally do something that would resonate so negatively.
Kerry wouldn't write such a letter for the same reason.
Bush? Oh hell, yeah. He'd probably include a potty joke. Cheney would write something like that, and include a hint about swimming with the fishes while wearing cement shoes.
The Republicans do not think like leaders, and they have second rate mentalities. That's just all there is to it. No deep analysis necessary. They are very rich, but they are mediocrities. And they know it. Hence their tactics and fascistic bent.
These are the people who want to turn middle class America into a class of serfs to make them richer and richer. Think it over, how much are you willing to forfeit to fight them?
