Rebutting lawyers

Much ado about me in the Wednesday Journal, to which I respond, in part:

First of all, will the two lawyers who attacked me this week calm down? One’s a civil rights lawyer, the other works for my bank. You’d think on either count they’d be a little less hard on a private citizen.

Hard? Count the ways. I dish out falsehoods, inflammatory innuendo, poison, McCain’s propaganda, says one. And I’m sarcastic and, gulp, dishonest. My column was appalling, says the other. I am superficially more coherent and articulate than another writer, from whom she says pathetic splutterings emanate. In my column I delivered a sneak attack. I violate journalistic ethics.

Quite a column.

That would be my words of wisdom a week ago about the Big O. as Alinsky and FDR heir, among other things, Alinsky for his ends-justify-means doctrine and FDR for his (liberal) fascism. 

There’s more more more of my response if you’re interested.  And if you’re not, like the panhandler who strikes out with you says, God bless you and have a nice day.
