Remember that letter that went around bashing Clinton during his last term

It was a letter to the President from a mother. She wrote things like thanks to you I have to explain what a blow job is to my young child...

Anybody have a copy? I would greatly appreciate it

I've thought about that and the hypocrisy of the right-wingers who haven't said boo about kids all over the world who will now SEE many violent and brutal sexual behaviors in photos, thanks to the Bush - Rumsfeld approved torture policies. In the Clinton matter, there were no photographs, not to mention it was consensual behavior. And it's not just the kids. What can we tell the vast majority of the human race who are sickened by these photos (and with worse to come, according to Rumsfeld's own admissions)? I hope someone puts together a very hard-hitting variation on that letter for us to circulate on the internet.

Feel Free to circulate!

Dear President Bush:

In 2001, we had to explain to our children why people would fly jet airliners into buildings. It was difficult, but we did it. We explained about religious differences, about cultures, about how we affected them and how meeting aggression with aggression was wrong. It worked. To some degree.

In 2002, we had to explain why we were in Afghanistan. We had to re-think our comments about meeting aggression with further violence. Still, we could couch it in terms of stopping those who wanted to hurt others. That worked. Our children believed it because we did. And we were sure you did as well.

In 2003, however, we had to explain to our children just how attacking a nation not involved in 9/11 was the "right thing to do"... Yes, we told them about the Weapons of Mass Destruction, but... like watching the child who recognizes Mommy's handwriting on the Christmas tag reading "From Santa", we could see doubt in their eyes. Was that the mirror of our own eyes? Like the parent who invents ever greater tales ("Santa was in a hurry, so he had Mommy write those tags!") we were becoming aware that the "little stories" wouldn't cover enough, long enough.

Sooner or later, all children reach an age where they begin to put away the childhood tales. They begin to ask adult questions and to question adults. Today, in 2004, we, as parents, have this question to ask of you, Mr. President: What do we say to our children now?
How do you explain naked bodies piled in shameful display before a grinning woman? How do you tell an innocent child that dog leashes might not be just for dogs, sometimes? When your son comes up and says "Mom... If I join the army, do I have to do stuff like that, too?," or your daughter, caught in the whirl of excitement over her first sleepover asks you "Mom, what's 'necrophelia'?

What do you say? How do you explain to a child who is accustomed to seeing the "bad guys" defeated at the end of the cartoon that the "bad guys" in those shameful pictures were sent there by a "good guy"? Or worse yet, that the "bad guys" on the floor with wires attached to their genitals are being hurt be even "badder guys" who used to be the "good guys".

How do you explain that the person in charge failed to stop it, that the person in charge of *that* person is still on duty or that the person in charge of those two covered it up and that the one who is in charge of the whole Army is still in office and facing NO disciplinary actions?

Fortunately, when my child asks me "Is George Bush still our President? Is he a Good Guy or a Bad Guy?" I don't need to ask you for *that* answer.

I already know it. And in November, so will you.

It's a keeper!

to the local Rush-wannabe. It went like this:

Ran across this letter to the president. Thought you'd be interested..

<copy of your letter>

then again, maybe not...

He'll have smoke coming out of his ears Monday morning...Maybe I'll tune in :evilgrin:

so I could draft one for Bush

Dear Mr. Ex President Clinton:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "Thank me, I voted for
Clinton-Gore." So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending
my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:

2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until they were older to discuss it with them, but now they know more about it than I did as a senior in college.
