If it was supposed to have some political value, some intelligent thoughts about Republicans vs. Democrats or about the problems of American education and family values, it failed miserably! Rather, it was a misogynistic, uninformed diatribe, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
To attack a woman merely because she is wealthy defies logic. It shows a lack of character, and illuminates a whiny nature bigger than poor old Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh!

Tempers flare and spiteful things are said during political campaigns, but this letter hit a new high in low. If the purpose was to let the world know you are a Democrat, the words of Mark Twain come to mind: “All you need is ignorance and confidence and the success is sure.”
