Just in case you think I’m a jerk

A grown up relationship doesn’t mean holding grudges. In the old days Republicans and Democrats could fight hammer and tong but put their harsh rhetoric aside after an election. Now they believe their rhetoric and treat it as though it was handed down to them from Mt. Sinai.

The same should be true of pols and the press. Here’s the quick comment from the editor and my reply resulting from the submission of a tough letter to the editor this morning.

Editor:

Thanks, Harry.

As long as this hasn’t and won’t wind up on your blog we’ll work to use it in the coming week. Even if we sometimes disagree I appreciate the respectful dialogue. Good luck on Aug. 10 (and I do mean that!).

Chuck

Me:

Chuck,

I know you mean that. Withering sarcasm aside I like you guys.

Harry
