Barbara Bush Cover in Bad Taste
RECEIVED Wed., Nov. 2, 2005
Dear sir,
Your cover comparing Barbara Bush to Marie Antoinette and the "instructions" related to that feature are in very bad taste and show a complete ignorance of the character of this first lady [Oct. 28]. If you can't win at the polls, attack and belittle people and pretend it's meaningful "satire" seems to be your mantra. Your magazine has degenerated into a meaningless ideologically driven yellow sheet that people basically pick up because it's free and they can get fairly accurate showtimes. Please try to do better.
