    And I now know how to play Sardines (that was the big stumper yesterday a.m. for the DJs reading portions of the letter on the radio).

    With all due respect to you...

    It is not a letter that's directed at a couple of children who are about to move into the White House. It's a PR piece that the Bush daughters managed to have pubished in the Wall Street Journal.

    Read it again.

    If you were really writing to 7- and 10-year old Sasha and Malia, is that the way you would have written it?

    Gag me. It's insincere, substance-free, and completely self-serving.

    Even if it was a publicity piece, it was a nice one.

    I felt that it might have been written more for their dad (Bush) to read.

    Yes, clearly it's other people who are overreacting.

    Mele - only repeating the term from a post by a frequent poster here-- so if there was over reacting- then you need look at the original post

    of course everyone claims these things aren't really said- sorry that one is only about a week old.
