Missing Cojones

The Washington Post is running a letter I wrote to them this week. It'll be on the Free for All page of Saturday's paper. I've been pissed off that their coverage of the Scooter Libby trial keeps appearing on page A3 or A5, instead of on the front page where it belongs. The Vice President apparently committed a felony, for god's sake -- this is not front page news? But the intricacies of Whitewater were for years when Clinton was president?!

So this is what they're running, and remember you (all my legions of readers, ha ha) saw it here first: Why were stories about Vice President Cheney’s involvement in the trial of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby buried on Page A5 on Feb. 4? This is front-page news. Cheney is the point man, the unindicted co-conspirator. All evidence seems to point to him. Karen Bate, Arlington.

Strangely, they edited out my two best lines: What are you afraid of, your GE bosses? Have some cojones!

Oh well, guess that hit too close to home, huh? cracking up.
