Kool-Aid, Miami Style

The Kool-Aid must taste real good in parts of Miami, as evidenced by the following letter to the editor. Amusing and baffling to say the least.

Pelosi on target

I absolutely love House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. While the rest of Washington wrings its hands and politicizes every action, Pelosi is using her position to further the will of Americans.

It is refreshing to see an elected official take the bull by the horns and move forward to get us out of the quagmire in Iraq.

Let President Bush's supporters criticize and condemn all they like; no one is listening to their lies anymore. America wants action, and Pelosi, with the elegant demeanor of Jackie Onassis and the steely resolve of Margaret Thatcher, is delivering. Let's hope the Nobel Peace Prize committee is not missing her actions.

SKIP VAN CEL, Miami

Let's see: Pelosi, Onassis, Thatcher. Pelosi, Onassis, Thatcher.

Sorry, still don't see it.

Arrange a meeting with leaders who support terrorism, get a Nobel Prize. Sounds easy enough. And probably not far off the mark, either. That's about the only thing that even remotely accurate in Mr. Van Cel's letter.
