A friend just passed along a letter that appeared in yesterday's Advocate, the local BR rag. It was a not-so-measured criticism of one Shrub W. Bush...actually, that's not too surprising: the local paper is conservative, to be sure, but does a fair to middling job of presenting plenty of views on the Op-Ed and letter page...
But this one is a little different. It was written by Ed Steimel, the former president of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI)--not exactly a bleeding heart group, as my friend put it. And, thanks to my old copy of Photoshop, I'm able to pass the letter on in its original form:

When a Shrub fails and falls in his second term...and when a former president of LABI goes on the record with comparisons to drunken sailors--and admits he never considered the man "very smart"--well, I'd say a significant part of "the base" has pretty much eroded away like so much Gret Stet coastline.
Shrub is Republicanese for FAILURE.
