Letter to the Editor - For Immediate Release
SUBJECT: Alabama Waking Up To New Millennium Attention Mr. Bob Ingram! Ref.: "State Poll on Clinton Dismaying": by Bob Ingram, Montgomery Advertiser, Oct. 11, 1998 p. 12A. Regarding Bob Ingram's recent column, "State Poll on Clinton Dismaying," I wonder, Mr. Ingram, have you been napping? Wake up and get on the new millennium bus! This is not the Alabama or the America of the 1950's or '60's. Wallace is dead and we are rapidly approaching a new millennium where issues of race and sex are not of primary consideration to the Baby Boomers. In fact the majority of people despise politicians for playing the race card, the sexual infidelity card or any other under the table moralist deck of cards. It sounds to me like many of our senior editors around the nation need to take some vitamin E, or better yet, Viagra. Try it for a few weeks and see what effect it has on your editorial column. Then you might be able to understand where the majority of Americans, including Alabamians, are coming from when they say they don't want President Clinton impeached. We the people simply do not care what President Clinton did behind closed doors with Monica Lewinsky. Nor do we care if he tried to hide the truth from his wife and consequently everyone else. This does not mean the President or his supporters are immoral. It simply means everyone makes mistakes. In this case the mistake was a private, personal matter, not an affair of state. Affairs of state are things like the economy, health care, social security, poverty, the drug war, education and the spread of terrorism. These are critical issues. The republican orchestrated sex scandal is just a selfish vote mongering attempt to gain power, control and money at the expense of our nation's good reputation. Everyone associated with the promotion of this sex scandal from Ken Starr to Dr. Jekyll (Newt Gingrich) and Hyde (Henry Hyde) should be ashamed of themselves for hurting our country over what amounts to a Presidential fling. If more aging editors and hypocritical politicians would take their daily dose of Viagra we would not have impeachment hearings or a mud slinging tabloid war of words criticizing the President's extra marital affair. Everyone would be too busy having their own flings with office interns or screwing around with the Sports Illustrated swim suit edition or this months Playboy to care what the President is doing in the Oval Office. Wake up people! In this case the polls are right. I speak for that majority who do not want to impeach President Clinton. Editorial columnists would be wise to agree. After all, its been a long time since you had such great copy and sold so many newspapers! Why would you want to get rid of a president who has been so good for the economy, who has been such a boon to the media? The very idea of impeachment is suicidal to any journalist or media man with a lick of sense! Why if Congress had good sense they'd halt these ridiculous impeachment hearings and pass an amendment to the Constitution to allow Clinton to serve four more years! Then they'd celebrate by passing a bill to prescribe Viagra to all members of Congress! Woopie America! I say "Just do it!
