…in this case I’ll make an exception. Any chance this guy is being facetious?
The media are at it again: The president is being criticized for planning to send more troops to Iraq. He also would be criticized if he did not send more troops. [Really? Who, other than W and his lapdog John McCain, wants to send more troops into Iraq? Even the generals on the ground said no to that idea -- before they were fired, that is.]
I feel sorry for all the opposition President Bush has encountered during both his terms while he works to keep us safe from another 9/11, keeps the economy up, maintains the lowest unemployment rate ever [Huh?] and tries to handle the surging number of immigrants invading our country [This is funny, given that most right-wingers seem to disagree sharply with Bush when it comes to immigration policy].Bush has total opposition to everything he does from most citizens. [Gee, I wonder why...] It is an almost impossible situation this fine Christian man has had to endure. [Dude, I hate to break it to you, but Bush's Christianity, or lack thereof, does not give him a free pass to screw up over and over again.]
Okay, I’ll be kind enough not to print the author’s name here, although you can certainly see it at the link. Clearly he isn’t ashamed of his views, given that he sent in the letter in the first place. I guess he’s one of the twenty-something percent still drinking the Kool-Aid.
This has got to be a joke. I mean really, I think this guy wrote this thinking it would be funny (and he was right).
I don’t think that this guy was trying to be funny and I think that he is dead serious. This is just another example of what ignoring our educational system produces.
Guys, I’m pretty sure “Norvelle” is a chick.
My first guess would have been a trial lawyer who had to write the letter after losing a bet. But there does seem to be a person of this surname living in Homewood (thank you, Google). Neither she nor her (presumed) husband have a web presence, so I was unable to learn anything more about them. Darn.
Talmadge, I’d like to believe it’s a joke, but I’m afraid Roy’s right. There’s a large element of Alabama’s population that prides itself on both its blind loyalty and its ignorance, and I expect this lady falls into that group.
Anyway, if I were a woman named Norvelle, I’d probably be warped for life.
I feel sorry for all the opposition President Bush has encountered…
I don’t think this means what the writer wants it to mean.
On the other hand, she does use ‘media’ (correctly) as a plural noun. Gotta give her points for that.
Roy,
Do you think it’s a result of the educational system or inbreeding?
Should of guessed he was from Alabama. One thing about the good old boys, they’re all about Bush. I gave up trying to talk to them.
Yeah, Cindi, it is a waste of breath. They think he’s one of them, and they’ll defend him to the end.
I saw that yesterday and had a chuckle. It’s pretty typical of a lot of people in Alabama, some of which happen to be my relatives.
There are several radical religious right groups that write the letter for you and you just have to click to send. LTEs from Frances Wideman in the Birmingham News usually are in that category. Sometimes I wonder why the News doesn’t check more closely for the canned letters – sometimes on Sunday you’ll see three or four that are basically the same letter.
Mrs. Frances Wideman is the greatest humor columnist in the history of the world.
