Gullible Ventura

To the editor,
   I can’t believe you fell for that, Michael [Ventura, "Letters @ 3AM," Sept. 3]. The whole day was orchestrated to get you (my italics) to back off Bush. By not staging the "grand response," they knew you’d immediately beg off on the conspiracy theory. The one thing they couldn’t control was whether or not you’d actually use (my italics) the "hundred exclamation points" to persuade on the "intel from CNN" ruse. You didn’t, and so you couldn’t even close the deal on the question of ineptitude and cowardly paralysis. Cheney? Rove? No way. This has the Bush twins written all over it. They’re the new "twin towers" (my quotes) among the cognoscenti in the dark recesses of the Bush White House (they call it the "temple of reason" – you know, kind of a tip of the hat to Robespierre’s reign of terror. Bush and Ashcroft hate this 'cause they’re all religious and stuff). That’s right – the "twin towers." I hear they joke like that.
