For those who want to do the daily letter-to-the editor thing I suggested in
a previous diary entry, I'm going to be posting themes every day unless somebody suggests a better method. If you'd like to propose a theme, feel free to post a comment and I'll consider it for tomorrow.
Today's theme is the nonsensical Republican push for congressional investigation into the CBS documents. Contrast with your choice of many examples of Republican inneptitude. Good choices are the failures in Iraq, the failures in the intelligence leading up to Iraq, the various indictments going on right now or being DELAYed, Valerie Plame, etc.
Here's mine. Don't just copy it - come up with your own words. If a paper gets 5 copies of the same letter they'll ignore all of them. Remember to keep it around 100 words, definately no more than 200.
Let me get this straight. Republicans want to have an official congressional investigation into the apparently forged documents about the president's Texas Air National Guard service -- an investigation carried out at taxpayers' expense about an event from 30 years ago which has nothing to do with anything any sane person cares about.
They seem considerably less interested in holding an investigation into the forged documents about an attempted purchase of uranium -- part of a mountain of bogus intelligence used to justify a war that has already killed more than a thousand American soldiers and untold thousands of Iraqi civilians.
Dead people take all the fun out of irony.
