Letter to the editor

Dick Yarborough in his column, "wondering about all you liberal weenies", manages to regurgitate every cliche in the book that right wing zealots like to use when describing who he refers to as 'liberal weenies". He dredges up the usual suspects as Democratic examples to debase, namely Jimmy Carter and Ted Kennedy. He is in total lockstep with the Bush Administration and overlooks and ignores the multitude of gaffes and almost unbelievable missteps that have prevailed since the beginning of the Iraqi invasion. There is'nt room on this page to recount them, so lets be fair and just say that if anybody is out of touch with the mainstream thinking in this country besides Howard Dean, it is Dick Yarborough and his diehard knee-jerk compatriots......unless of course, he believes that a presidential performance approval rating below 40% is just peachy keen. I like Dick Yarborough and usually enjoy his column, but his one size fits all criticism
of Democrats, especially liberal democrats, is not only unbecoming, it is
downright mean. I hope this does'nt cause Mr. Yatborough to "up chuck his biscuits", but his assessment of liberal thinking if flawed by his own
prejudice. I sometimes believe there are folks in this country who would
rally around a one party system in a heart beat, A monarchy with King George at the helm.
