Absolute power

Dear George:

I watched you and listened to you on Friday as you talked to the press and the nation about the indictment and resignation of Mr. Libby. As an American, I want to know WHY he lied to the grand jury and the FBI. It certainly seems to me that he is the sacrificial lamb for those higher up in your administration. Please come out of your ivory tower and tell us the truth. You promised us an administration without liars. It seems to be an impossibility. It must really be true that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

As for the Supreme Court nominee, please do not nominate another crony who cannot demonstrate expertise in constitutional law. That was a disgrace! Are you trying to tell us that there are no qualified women for the job? I doubt that. Get to work. We don't need another speech about national security or the economy. We need for you to clean up the executive branch and to get in touch with the American people. We know more than you think we know.
