It is no secret that Michael Graham hates John Kerry,
France and Susan Sarandon. This, of course, does not require that they
be linked together whenever Kerry makes a statement that Graham
doesn’t agree with (“Mon Dieu! Send Kerry to Paris,”
Jan. 31).
Kerry
was correct in his criticisms of U.S. foreign policy. It is sad that
Graham, having no coherent rebuttal, resorts to the right wing’s
usual anti-France, anti-Sarandon invective. It is even sadder if one
takes into account that U.S. public opinion has so turned against this
administration’s policies that this childish tactic no longer has
any impact.
While
there is no doubt that Kerry has made a number of questionable, even
embarrassing public statements, a responsible newspaper would publish a
serious critique of the senator’s position, not the apoplectic
ravings of a third-rate talk radio personality.
