***Edit- Check the bottom of this entry for an important revision.

So I wrote Cynthia Tucker to blast her on the small business health care thing I mentioned earlier. This was before I realized I wrong about what Pelosi had said. But Cynthia wrote me back before I had the chance to correct myself to her (which I did in a subsequent email, along with an apology). Anyway, this is the entirety of her response to my intitial, incorrect email....

"My ideas don't come from Nancy Pelosi, so I have NO idea what she has in
mind."

Her entire column was that the economy sucks (she neglected to actually mention numbers except for the 4.4% unemployment rate, which she says is deceptive because those jobs are all at McDonalds or Wal-Mart) and so people should vote Democrat, and they will take care of the health car problem, but she then says she doesn't have a clue what the Democrats plan. For an editor of a major paper to write such duplicitous BS and not even bother to look up the plans for the people she supports is just disgusting. She should be ashamed.


EDIT: In retrospect, I regret my comments regarding Ms. Tucker. I was rude, and not fair at all. One advantage of a newspaper... More time to think about things before they actually get printed.
