Reply #9: Dear Chicago Tribune [View All]

When someone loses a popular vote, he is by definition out of touch with the majority of his constituents. See how that works?

By the way, polls are saying that a remarkably large majority of Americans -- despite the best efforts of you and your big media cohorts -- have concluded that the invasion of Iraq has been a colossal mistake. They don't much like George W. Bush or his Republican toadies who drove us into this ditch, and they'd really like to hear about some ideas that don't include "keep sticking that fork into the outlet until it doesn't shoot you ten feet across the room." What we're doing isn't working, and the public has figured that out without any assistance from the Chicago Tribune.

The indisputable fact that Lieberman lost his primary race is a clear indication that he is out of touch with his own base, at the very least. And what do you make of Lieberman's desperate attempts in the last few days before the vote to emphasize all of his differences with the Bush administration? That surely appeared to be tailoring his views for a political advantage, wouldn't you say?

Next time, don't bother typesetting your editorial. Just leave it in the original red crayon scrawl so that folks get a clear picture of the dementia that fueled the screed, okay? Call it truth in publishing.
