Our Missed Brookes

Keeping Warren Brookes' legacy alive. Also: Talk talk conservatism. Methodists Bush and Holsinger. Gordon Brown's labours. Bureaucracy ever triumphant. Tribute to a scoutmaster. Plus more.

p> MIXED METHODISTS br> Re: Matt May's President Bush: Model Methodist : /p> p>My dear Swiss grandfather, who settled in Ohio in the 1800, was a model Methodist. My grandfather would never have let the Katrina victims float bloated in flood water while most civilized countries in the world offered to help with food, money, medicine, life saving equipment, boats, helicopters, water purification systems, tents, cots, blankets, and clothing. Grandfather would have said, "Venez. Bienvenue! Je vous remercier." Grandfather was a real Methodist, not a media/PR faux Methodist. br> -- Gloria Picchetti br> Chicago, Illinois /p> p> Whether Scooter Libby's sentence should have been commuted will forever be debated. However, if he had to serve time in prison, his cellmate should have been Joe Wilson, whose lies generated the Valerie Plame pseudo scandal. br> -- Stan Welli br> Aurora, Illinois
