more angry open letters

*Hey there, Cuffy  readers.  I think you'll like this, when I thought today couldn't be more entertaining, I saw this, and was proven wrong.

Seems like there are a lot of angry open letters flying around today, first Alex Cord railing against Ace, and now some lefty columnist in Philly is railing against ABC.  This Mike Bunch guy is pretty agitated, look,

It's hard because -- like many other Americans -- I am still angry at what I just witnesses, so angry that it's hard to even type accurately because my hands are shaking.

The bold is mine, seriously, this guy was that upset by it?  Awesome.

Let's see what else he has to say,

Indeed, if I were a citizen of one of those nations where America is seeking to "export democracy," and I had watched the debate, I probably would have said, "no thank you." Because that was no way to promote democracy.

Seems many of your friends want to say "no thank you" to democracy too.  He then goes on to whine about ABC not talking about the usual pablum that he thinks should have been talked about. Which we all know would have made for the same excruciating fairly lockstep repetitions of liberal dogma we've had in pretty much every damn debate.  All this anger stems from one thing.  ABC made a change in their debate approach, and the Obama cultists in particular aren't happy about it, because it damaged their guy worse than Hillary. 

You asked about gun control -- phrased to try for a "gotcha" in a state where that's such a divisive issue -- but not about what we really care about, which is how to reduce crime.

Awww, is the Philly Marxist angry that ABC asked a question that's  politically relevant in PA?  You aren't mad because it's "not what you care about", you're mad because it did damage to Hillary and even moreso Obama, particularly for the general.  We both know these two just made themselves fodder for Pro-2nd 527's (because we all know McCain doesn't have it in him to go on the attack).

But I'm not surprised a Philly guy is angry about bringing up guns. After all, his city has been trying to undermine gun rights in PA for years and not gotten anywhere, culminating in the current mayor signing a bunch of new gun control laws in direct violation of PA gun law.  Philly liberals know gun control is a political loser in PA better than anyone.

Beyond that, you see what TNR and I see, and you're scared.  You and I know that the socially conservative Democrats here are going to break for McCain because Obama and Hillary can't convince them they aren't gonna totally burn them on guns and social issues.

Okay, this is good too,

Here's a question for you, George. Is it true that yesterday you appeared on the radio with conservative talk radio host Sean Hannity, and that you said you were "taking notes" when he urged you to ask a question about Obama's supposed ties to a former member of the Weather Underground -- which in fact you did? With all the fabulous resources of ABC News at your disposal, is that an appropriate way for a supposed journalist to come up with debate questions - by pandering to divisive radio shows?

Okay, I've been pretty brutal in criticizing Sean Hannity over the years, but if he got the ABC crew to ask that question, he gets big credit for that, both Hillary and Obama did some serious damage to each other during that little exchange.  This is great,

Quickly, a word to any and all of my fellow journalists who happen to read this open letter: This. Must. Stop. Tonight, if possible.

Translation: DON'T. EVER. GIVE. THE. WINGNUTS. FREE. SOUNDBITES. AGAIN.  RRRRRRAAAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!!!

And this his ending is just utterly priceless

Charlie, I'm going to sign off this letter the way that you always sign off the news, that "I hope you had a great day."

Because America just had a horrible night.

Such impotent rage!  This is the best primary ever.

I can't wait for the Democrat Convention.
