Dear State News Opinion Page writers,

It appears like you are still a little bitter about your guy (John Kerry) losing the election. Disagree all you want with the president in policy ("Global warning," SN 1/25), but please refrain from baby-talking him. Like him or not, he is our president and demands respect.

I would like to know how and when, you, the editors of the Opinion Page, gained the superior wisdom to talk down to a man who received a bachelor's degree from Yale and a master's degree from Harvard? Last time I checked, those are two of the most prestigious colleges in our country. What are you trying to say about those two schools?

Besides, if the guy is so dumb, how was he able to beat your guy John Kerry in the election by nearly 3.5 million votes anyway? Try to answer that for us without calling Bush voters stupid.
