Dear Richard,

You moan and groan about Stephen Colbert being a bully.

Boo-hoo.

Bush deserved EVERY WORD of that, and so did the White House Press Corpse. Truth hurts, sometimes, doesn't it?

Frankly, as a retired Associated Press Radio reporter (I was a colleague of outgoing WHCA chief Mark Smith's for nine years), I've been utterly disgusted by the powder-puff coverage and years-long free passes and other no-accountability protections that the WHOLE LOT OF YOU have given this president, especially considering the proctoscopes and packs of baying hounds none of you hesitated to use, for years - and for NOTHING, against Bill Clinton (who among other things NEVER lied to the nation in a lust to take us to war).

Can't take a joke, any of you? Especially when you ARE the joke?

What pains me about this, as a retired member of the press, is how ashamed I am of my former profession because of the lapdogs you've become under this administration. I put 25 years of hard work and long hours and less-than-stellar pay and hard-to-please bosses into that profession. I always tried to tell the truth, however uncomfortable it might be - ESPECIALLY in situations in which the emperor had nothing to wear.

Oh, and by the way, Bush SHOULD have loved it. Colbert was speaking his language. Bush was, after all, the biggest bully in the room.

Sincerely,

me
