I am, quite often, so angry that my hands shake.

Like when you're opening your wallet to pay your latest Rent Boy and you don't think you got your $20 worth?

[Charles Henrickson]

I wrote a book called "War on Iraq". . . .

Funny, the lead name here seems to be one . . . SCOTT RITTER:

[gidget7]

So much for Pitts opus.

LOL

[gidget7]

You got that right. Hubby knows him somewhat, and he is not only ignorant, but as you can all see from his post, and no doubt already know, he is the most pompous and arrogant snob you could ever meet. With no reason too.

[Charles Henrickson]

They write to me because I wrote that book. . . .

They write to ME! Do you hear that, Richard Cohen? They write to ME! ME, William Rivers Pitt! I, I wrote the book! I I I I I I I !!!! ME ME ME ME ME !!!!

[gate2wire]

I hope Cohen does read this. He'll laugh his a$$ off. Then, he'll pass this around the newsroom where all the reporters will laugh THEIR a$$es off.

Hey pitt, good luck finding a paying job.

[Charles Henrickson]

somehow they think I have an answer. . . .

"A.N.S.W.E.R.?! I don't know nothin' about no A.N.S.W.E.R.!!!"

[Charles Henrickson]

somehow they think I have an answer to that bottomless question.

Because you're . . . BOTTOMLESS PITT!

How old is this immature child anyway? He dosn't actually remember anything about Vietnam, he only knows what he's "learned" watching Platoon, Alice's Restaurant and Apocalypse Now.

Hey Pitt! The protests ended when the draft did! Nobody was against the war - they were just against having to fight it themselves.

[Charles Henrickson]

I am personally from the more-flies-with-honey school of journalistic correspondence. But in the end, truth be told, I don't feel too badly for you. . . . I suggest you take a moment within yourself and ask why you don't share their feelings.

Yeah, that's some "honey" there, isn't it, you're offering to Cohen: insulting, condescending, smug. . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

This isn't Vietnam, Mr. Cohen. This is a whole new ballgame, and the stakes are higher by orders of magnitude. It took almost ten years of Vietnam for people to reach the boiling point. . . .

Are you nuts, Pitt? The Vietnam War started, really, in 1965, got going in '66, and by 1968 there were MASSIVE riots in the streets--DWARFING your little Iraq rallies "by orders of magnitude."

[nina0113]

That's why I think his "recollections" of Vietnam come from movies - he knows about all the "flower power" crap, but NOTHING about the political history. I bet he's read all the way through "Be Here Now" - remember that one? Even at my hippie-dippiest I could only make it halfway.

[Charles Henrickson]

Apply it liberally - pardon the pun - to any and all parts of your body that may be exposed to the scary anger of the anti-war Left. Toughen up that hide of yours. . . .

Man, talk about obnoxious!!! If Cohen has somehow managed to read (doubtful) through Pitt's turgid, mind-numbing, interminable prose this far (highly doubtful), at this point he will be throwing Pitt's open letter into an open trashcan.

[Charles Henrickson]

I can only shake my head.

I thought you can shake your hands, too.

[Charles Henrickson]

now that that grandstanding speech has FINALLY ended. . . .

Woo-hoo! That thing lasted longer than Vietnam!

[Charles Henrickson]

Wonderful letter. I hope he reads it and understands . . .

. . . that he just wasted 35 minutes of his life.

[Alexander Rubin]

Does Pitt ever shut up?

I try to read each edition of the DUmmie Funnies thoroughly, but his pompous windbaggery just went on for sooo long.

[franksolich]

. . . that he just wasted 35 minutes of his life.

Someone a few comments ago inquired the age of the Bostonian Idiot, who was apparently born in 1971.

So the Bostonian Idiot hasn't wasted 35 minutes of his life, but rather a whooping 35 years of it.

What a waste of good malt and yeast.

[Charles Henrickson]

Cohen is a collaborator. . . .

Yeah, just like that Roy Cohn back in the McCarthy days! This Cohen's probably got a big nose too! Those lousy Neo-Cohens. . . .

[Charles Henrickson]

Let us retract the foreskin of confusion and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.

Another veiled anti-semitic comment.
