April 19, 2009 OPEN LETTER
Com-on' Jeannine, you are one of my favorite satirical and snippy lady comedians but as a political ersatz analyst you are really terrible. Why cannot show business luminaries as you are stay in your job and let the trained political scientists do the heavy lifting. You stand there assailing the creators of the Boston Tea Parties without possession of any hard data or evidence. Would you repeat all these assumptions under oath in a court? How come you get to exercise your free speech which in this case was bizarre and unsupportable and you question the legitimacy of the American people who assembled in a peaceful manner and expressed their views. One of your points was that right wing individuals planned these events for reasons that are so imaginatively described by you and winds up irrelevant anyway. First of all, and as reported in the media,there were a few cities where tea events were created by political individuals. So, what? we are still living in a great country where these Boston Tea Parties are valid and lawful no matter if my grandmother helped to initiate them. It did take years and years for the US to elect a Black President. You are old enough to remember the March on Washington and Selma? What if comedians had interfered with those events? Peaceful protest, it furthers our democratic principles. Jeannine, "LEAVE UNTO CAESAR'S WHAT IS CAESAR'S". Be happy that you are in the USA where you can step out of your recognized profession and participate freely in an unrelated field where credibility and knowledge is of foremost importance.
