If I was a liberal, I'd keep my mouth shut about it fearing someone would ask me what I do believe in. What I don’t get is most liberals seem proud to be liberal.

It wasn't critical of Bush at all.

I just did. This is what I said: Dear Sirs and Madams: As an American, I am appalled at the actions of your American team at the world bridge championships regarding the slur about President George Bush. They were there playing as representatives of our nation, and George Bush is our president. They showed an extreme lack of class, decorum, and basic manners. They are, in short, a national embarrassment. They proved themselves to be unfit representatives of our nation who have wholly trivialized the endeavors of your organization. Quite frankly, they should play for another country, one of which they can be proud representatives. You do not travel abroad to represent your nation, and then spit on your nation to the glory of the foreign press in attendance. What nasty, petty people these women are. I hope your sanctions of them are swift and severe. They do not deserve the honor you have bestowed upon them as ambassadors of our nation in the bridge-playing world. board@usbf.org Send the board members of the bridge federation that sent them there as representatives of the US a message.
