I Write Another Letter

Bravo Mr. Somerby:

Bravo!

Your work over the last 7-plus years has been superlative, but this piece rises above even your own lofty standards. I've watched Broder for years on MTP pander to the criminals now in charge of this country. Criminals, as you point out, he helped put in place.

I read this most recent column of his and I see a lazy, inept, bitter old man who perhaps finally realizes just how horrible a mistake he has made. I wonder how difficult it is for him to clean his soiled britches now that he's realized he's helped empower a "reckless, lawless" administration.

On the other hand, it could all just be a ruse. Wouldn't be the first time! The realization that his abuse of the lofty position of "Dean of the Capitol Press Corps" has enabled a would-be tryant to tear away the last vestiges of democracy from the fabric of this nation may be too much for the old clown to comprehend or to bare. No, if he points the finger and screams "RECKLESS, LAWLESS!" loud enough, in his mind perhaps he absolves himself of any blame for the current predicament. "No one could have seen this coming! How could this have happened?"

The Dean is a vile old bastard. He and his cohort turned a blind eye for the last six years while a would-be boy-king and his minions trashed the Republic. For shame.

Best.
