Horrible station -- all credibility lost after Barbara West interview.

An Open Letter to Barbara West, continued

Well, Ms. West, your interviews with John McCain and now Joe Biden have confirmed it: you are no conservative but you definitely qualify to be "today's Republican." And how interesting it was to find out your husband is Wade West. If he was the wunderkind who cooked up that flaccid laundry list for you, he's really slipping.

Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis said it so well: "Sunlight is the best disinfectant." Well, along with many other people out there none too impressed with you, Ms. West, I'm shining some light on you. And I've got to say, you look a little peaky.

Very, very, sincerely,

Wendy Taylor

I cannot speak for TRUE conservatives such as Colin Powell, Ken Adelman, Charles Fried, George Will, Christopher Buckley, Kathleen Parker, or David Brooks. However, I can and do read what they write, and overwhelmingly they bemoan what has happened to the Republican party. Adding to the horror of real conservative values morphing into the moronic and mindless plank of "God, guns, and gays," intelligence has become "elitism" and idiocy recast anew as "good old-fashioned American patriotism!"

You are all over the web right now, Ms. Barbara West-who-I've-never-heard-of-til-this-moment. And not in an "all publicity is good publicity" way. If you don't believe me, give Michele Bachmann a shout and see if she agrees with that old canard. You, Ms. West, are a disgrace to the ideal of what journalism should be. You not only shame yourself but betray those who watch and trust you. (Don't worry, though: to people like me, you degrade only yourself.)

I
