So Many Faults to Choose From ...
RECEIVED Tue., March 14, 2006
Dear Editor,
Sure takes a lot to embarrass some folks. I know that because I still see lots of "W '04" bumper stickers around. If I had voted for somebody who has shown himself to be a liar and a criminal, I'd have long ago gone out, probably in the dead of night, and scraped that "W '04" sticker off my behemoth SUV or dualie pickup.
Next time I get a chance to talk to one of those guys, I'd like to ask him what he most appreciates about "W.” Is it the illegal war, the torture, the increased risk of terrorist attacks, the vast damage to our economy, domestic spying, or some other shortcoming of this administration? Hey, there are so many faults to choose from.
I'll bet he won't have an answer for me. But there are times when the proper response is to be embarrassed.
