Being a regular person and a patriotic American, I admit that I usually don’t watch politics on TV or elsewhere.

As luck would have it (or, more probly, the Good Lord), I had just finished my last romance novel and left with nuthin’ to do, I wound up turning on the show you had last nite – and I was delightedly surprised at this debate thing you was airin’.

Finally, your boys asked the questions that folks like myself want answers to, no ifs ands or butts.

First off, I been wonderin’ about that loophole flag pin thing for a while now, and damn if that wasn’t one of your most important questions to ask!

Real Americans like myself understand that people who love this country wear those loophole flag pins all the time – why I’ll betcha that Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice had ‘em proudly displayed the whole time they was at those torturin’ meetings discussing how we don’t torture anybody.

I did wonder why the people askin’ the questions wasn’t wearing any theyselves, or Hillry neither – but I guess they just didn’t want to embarrass that Brack Hussein fella by making it obvious that he wasn’t sporting one like he should.

I was especial thrilled that you asked about peoples reverends and there opinions, because this is a topic that is dear to my heart. Everybodys been saying that this Revenend Right fella was the first one to blame America after 9-11, just ignorin’ the fact that it was real Christians like Falwell and Robertson who blamed Americans first long before this Right guy said a word. I’m glad the record is finally being set straight on that – all though you didn’t mention it neither, but I got your drift. I hate it when people try to steel someone elses credit for stuff.

Not havin’ seen to much of Hilry or the Hussein fella to date, I was taken a back by their presentations of themselves. Seems to me (and no, I am not a professional puntid or any such!) that he looked annoyed that you was asking such good questions, and she looked as happy as a pig-in-you-know-what being as she can’t afford professional-made commercials and was finally getting’ her say-so in for free.

But truth be told, you did the Democrats a favor they won’t soon be fogettin’. The number one reason why people like me vote Republican every time is because those Democrats wanna talk over our heads with subjects like the economy, and the deficit (whatever that is!) and other like stuff that no one wants to hear about. The idea that you made them discuss the real issues facing us today was just what the doctor ordered – and if I could afford to talk to a doctor, I’m sure he’d agree.

Needless to say (but you know me, I’ll say it anyways!), I look forward to your next one of these shows and hope you will take some suggestions for questions to be asked, because I got some good ones – like what sign these people are, and there favrite color, and weather they are cat-people or dog-people and what breed and why.

Regular people like me want to know the answers to stuff like this, and I hope you won’t disappoint us by askin’ any more stuff about Iraq, or the economy, or that other nonsense that politicians want to say when nobodys listening.

So thanks again for lookin’ out for the folks that don’t give a hoot who gets presidented next, so long as good shows like yours get put on the TV on a regular basis.

Yours Truly from an admirable fan of fine programin’ like yours …
Mrs. John Q. Citisen

P.S. If their could be grand prizes (and maybe a constellation prize for
that loser gal), plus music from a "house band" during your next show, I think you'd get a Emmy like you deserve!
