p> WHO'S YOUR DADDY? br> Re: Jay D. Homnick's Taking Kennedy from a Baby : /p>

While I am no fan of Bill Clinton (quite the contrary), I find your gratuitous reference to "hillbilly wannabes" mildly offensive to all of us from the rural South who are constantly and unmercifully ridiculed by Hollywood's stereotypical hillbilly images. So, I wish you hadn't used that term and urge you to look for some other way to express your well-taken contempt for the Clintons.

p>Worse, implying that Hillary is somehow a hillbilly caters in a supportive way to her cynically ridiculous claim to a connection with Arkansas and, thus, the South. Hillary's sole accomplishment in life, the single bullet point in her business plan, has been to trade off Bill's position. The fact that she passed briefly through Arkansas while doing it makes her no more of a hillbilly or any other kind of southerner than does her "home" in New York make her a New Yorker or her sham marriage make her, well, a "Mrs." br> -- Van Morgan br> Florence, Alabama /p> p> Though "Change!" is the campaign's one-word slogan, the Obama administration (if there is to be such) will be anything but. He cannot possibly have built up enough chits in his short D. C. tenure to have any swat, and so easily will be manipulated into the same-old same-old. Perhaps this -- aside from the obvious symbolism -- is what the Kennedy and their party regulars like about him. br> -- Ty Knoy
