GOD BLESS
Re: Shawn Macomber's Caroling
With the Supremes:
Just a quick note of thanks for a very moving story by Shawn Macomber about the Christmas Carol experience with Chief Justice Rehnquist and Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. I actually became a bit emotional with this revelation of decency on the part of these two powerful, institutional members of the "Establishment."
God bless them and you.

ENEMY OF THE YEAR IS NEAR
Re: G.M. Strong's letter (under "To Hillary and Back") in Reader
Mail's Season's
Gratings:
Pardon my over-anticipation, I misread the EOW line. Please
consider my previous letter as a nomination for EOY for the Red
Queen. Sen. Rodham Clinton Rodham has manipulated her way into the
top with skill deserving of recognition. While she bakes holiday
cookies in Chappaqua and Der Schlickmeister sequesters to the
Harlem office, the rest of us await the award announcement.

EVERY MAN'S MAN OF THE YEAR
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Our Man of
the Year:
Your columns are always excellent and I always love reading them, I can't remember when I haven't enjoyed one and agreed with you, but today may be your finest in recent times. Thank you for so eloquently recognizing the achievement of our President as your Man of the Year. He is so deserving and truly a gentleman. What a difference a term makes. When I read that Time had recognized the American soldier I thought they were very deserving but Time had chosen them just to avoid having to recognize President Bush. Your column is great!
Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and blessed new
year!

I just got through reading your excellent analysis of President Bush. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it and I will share its wonderful insights with all who will listen.
President Bush is a great man, and perhaps in the afterglow of history in say 20 or 30 years, it will be obvious to all what extraordinary and dangerous times we live in, and how a humble and sincere man, who never really wanted to be President, presided over our country in our greatest crisis.
Thanks once again for your wonderful article.

I completely agree with your assessment of Bush as a Gent. Because
I live in Texas, I had a few chances to meet with him while he was
Governor. One time, I had my then 12 year old daughter with me so
she could shake his hand. I joked with Bush that my daughter was a
"Good Republican." He responded with "more important, is she a good
student?" I said, yes straight A's. He reached out and patted her
on the head. Now, isn't that a classy thing to say? The President
has his eye on the important things rather worrying about his
"legacy."

I commend you on your sage choice of President George W. Bush as "Man of the Year." It is ironic that publications that tout themselves as being "mainstream" and "news leaders" are unable to comprehend the meaning of "Man of the Year," unless it is someone who is totally undeserving of such an honor, for example Jimmy Carter, aka "Mr. Chicklet Grin," or any of the other leftist chowderheads which are consistently foisted upon the public.
I believe that President Bush will go down in history as the greatest President of the 21st Century, just as Ronald Reagan will surely go down in history as the greatest of the 20th. No doubt in my mind.
In that same vein, I invite you to read over my commentary
explaining why even leftists and liberals will ultimately end
up
voting for President Bush in November 2004 which is located on
my humble
blog for this date (Dec 27, '03).
