Dear Mr. Hewitt:
For several days, you have been upbraiding Congresswoman Michele Bachmann for not appearing on your program recently, insinuating that something nefarious is going on. This puzzles and bothers me, since she may simply have more important things to do for the moment. You are not a king-maker, however influential you may be.
Mrs. Bachmann is the strongest and most principled conservative candidate (far more so than Mitt Romney). As such, she deserves far more respect than you are now giving her.
Sincerely,
Douglas Groothuis
