Greetings From Iowa

Unfortunately, try as I might, I'm not going to make any of these John Edwards and Tim Robbins events. (I did see the pair together recently in NYC.) But, if my favorite plantation owner or any of his pie-baking minions happens to stop by the AmSpec blog, I do have a message for him:

Dearest John,

A few nights ago on Hardball you chose not to say whether you thought Oprah was a bigger star than Tim Robbins. Hope springs eternal in your heart, John! And, so, please allow me to offer a heartfelt prayer that, should Mr. Robbins somehow draw the same stadium sized crowds as the Big O did last week, that you, Mr. Robbins, the Iowa City Public Library, the Grinnell Eagles Club and the Weeks Middle School Auditorium all survive the deluge in one piece.

Best!

Shawn
