I shouldn't have and I should have let it die right there. I was wrong. It's part of my ironically inconsistent nature. Second: I do not get my news from any television source. It's too tainted with celebrities and soundbites. Third: I condone no actions of the president in regards his personal behavior or hypocrisy. Fourth: I read the NY Times among many other sources of information including the Wall Street Journal. I listen to radio, both conservative and liberal. I read magazines, the local paper. I listen to academics of many political persuasions. I consider myself reasonably well-informed on a number of topics. I am not going to validate Matt Drudge as my sole source of enlightenment and information: Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Cordially, Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
