The Nattering Nabob

How bad is Bush doing? A Wisconsin newspaper today felt compelled to ask their readers to send some pro-Bush letters, because they wanted to balance the views on their letters page.

Excerpt:

"We’ve been getting more letters critical of President Bush than those that support him. We’re not sure why, nor do we want to guess. But in today’s increasingly polarized political environment, we would prefer our offering to put forward a better sense of balance.

"Since we depend upon you, our readers, to supply our letters, that goal can be difficult. We can’t run letters that we don’t have."
