My e-ltr to TimMAY (G.E. RUSSERT)
So today in late 2006 you asked some tough questions of Dick CHENEY. A couple of times he looked as though his state of the art medical equipment might fail, but not to worry, by the end you were chuckling together and doing the pseudo macho sports stuff.

The point is, Mr RUSSERT, that you could have asked tough questions of the BUSH-CHENEY machine, not only about our current condition but about their whole orientation, anytime going back to 2000, and you didn’t.

I am just an individual with only the research resources available to anybody, not the vast insider connections and staff that you have, and yet I knew these were bad actors from before 9-11 and would have given anything to be able to quiz them----although I admit I never dreamed HOW bad they would make things.

So, Mr RUSSERT, it is just too late for any tough questions from you. And ditch the laughs.

1. A real politician is a servant of the people
Rich people should serve for free and poor ones given a salary comparable to the average US income. ALL politicians should not only expect the tough questions, but want them to be asked, in order to serve the people.

6. Would you prefer NOT to know anything?
And as a poster (below) says, we are not Nielsen ratings respondents.

3. I saw that interview
Chainey danced around in circles for an hour and Timmy never got huffy like he does with some.
But that was a good letter to him. I hope he reads it

5. Great
I'm all for letting them know exactly how you feel as often as you want to email them. I do it all the time. Hell ya we're watching, and we're pissed. I don't record on my DVR and I'm not a Neilson's rating household, so I will catch a few minutes here and there of cable news. I go through periods where I can't watch at all, and today is one of them. Cheney literally makes me sick to my stomach.
