Dear Editor:
Ah, so the editor thinks Hillary Clinton is a dead horse, eh [Postmarks Online]? Typical reaction from the left, "Hillary who?" Never mind she is the presumed front runner for the Democrats in 2008, it's me, not the 51% of voters who say they will not vote for Hillary under any circumstances, it's me dissing Hillary. Just like the concept of Bill Clinton's being the best president ever, and at the same time he had absolutely nothing to do with the global political situation in 2001. Mention it, and you're living in the past, beating a dead horse. Mention that Hillary has real problems with her base, the hard-core left, and you're quibbling. Mention a CNN poll finds only 16% of voters say they will vote for Hillary and it's my problem? CNN, who I used to work for, would not use the word "scandal" in any context in any story related to the Clintons, but their poll is "beating a dead horse"? Good thing the editor managed to find a clever way to dis me without addressing the facts in my letter. But hey. "Speak Ill of Hillary? Shoot the messenger!"
Thank you for your time and consideration.
