My LTTE to Wash Post

[lcooksey]

Don't know if they'll publish it, but here it is:

Vice President Dick Cheney in a speech in Dayton, Ohio, ridiculed Senator John Kerry's use of the word "sensitive" in a speech Kerry made before the Unity 2004 conference. Lynne Cheney, at an event in Joplin, Missouri, also commented on Kerry's speech to Unity 2004, saying, "With all due respect to the senator, it just sounded so foolish."

What Senator Kery said was, "I believe I can fight a more effective, more thoughtful, more strategic, more proactive, more sensitive war on terror that reaches out to other nations and brings them to our side." I'm certain that Vice President and Mrs. Cheney are well aware of the true meaning of Kerry's words, and do not actually find the idea of increasing cooperation with other nations in the war on terror foolish.

It is an insult to the office of the President that the Bush/Cheney campaign spends more effort on finding opposition quotes to pull out of context and ridicule than they do on addressing real issues.

Sincerely,
me
