...Patrician to Be President? In "Beware Flannel-Mouth Disease!" [March 1], columnist Joe Klein argues that to be successful in the presidential race, John Kerry will have to overcome the fact that he probably drinks wine, doesn't eat Cheez Whiz, speaks French and has trouble uttering simple English sentences. Is the American voter supposed to be put off by those traits? Our leaders should not be homogenized versions of the guy next door but the best of the best, regardless of a preference for Bordeaux over beer. Alex Guittard San Diego...
...this finger wagging, this easy moral superiority. So every news channel, editorial writer and sports columnist spent a lot of last week excoriating Todd Bertuzzi, who plays hockey for the Vancouver Canucks. All Bertuzzi did was sneak up behind Colorado Avalanche centerman Steve Moore toward the end of a 9-2 game last week and punch that member of the winning team in the side of the head.

I?ve just been bumped from drive time to 7:25 Sunday mornings, a berth so sleepy no one even called the first time the expletive aired, enabling it - horribly - to air again two hours later...
...Columnist Charles Krauthammer's claim in "Medals Don't Make a President" that President John F. Kennedy was responsible for getting the U.S. into the Vietnam War was way off target [Feb. 23]. Kennedy was seeking to de-escalate the conflict. And the implication that Bush is somehow better equipped than Kennedy was to lead the country into war is ridiculous. Let's compare 1,000 days of the Kennedy Administration with 1,000 days of Bush's. In his short time in office, Kennedy pursued nuclear-arms reduction, fought for civil rights and established the Peace Corps...
