Letter to Evergreen (Op-Ev)

What one Evergreen reader thinks of the current impeachment trial...

"What I could add to the story. It is like the distance between what those pusbags are saying on the Senate floor and the glossy bio's their staffs put out for them. There is the fleshy side to reality, which our prudish culture likes to gloss over and the right wing likes to pretend doesn't really exist accept for other people who are weak and corrupt. Blindly, they march the rest of us on, or so it seems. God, the TV surely got me down. What can we do? We seem absent. Where is the great "halt" scream? Give me a clue as to what we should be doing. Larry Flint, can't we have a series of clever ads showing these hypocrites truly as they are in their own naked selves?"
