Yesterday I tried to call Karl Rove at the White
House. You will not be surprised to learn that they
were insulting and snippy to me and I could not get
through to his office. The comment line was as close
as I got and they were clueless as to why the
switchboard would not transfer me to the public
servant known as Mr. Rove.
If I had reached him I would have asked him as he
blathered about how anxious and proud the
conservatives were who jumped at the chance to have a
war -- where are they now on the streets of Baghdad?
My son was a very liberal Democrat, when he signed up
for the National Guard no one asked, when he was
deployed no one asked his opinion or his politics, and
after he lost his life protecting the people looking
for those weapons of mass destruction no conservative
hawk came forth to take his place. Nor have they lined
up at recruiters offices to answer the needs of our
exhausted Army.
I hope Mr. Rove will show his true colors and sign up
for a guard unit, no one is too old now, Pennsylvania
guards men in their 50s are serving. If he is too busy
slandering half the people in this Country perhaps he
could send a child he loves dearly to take my
Sherwood's place?
I hope others will ask these questions of Mr. Rove and
his friends, maybe their calls will get through.
Sincerely,
Celeste Zappala, Philadelphia
