Dear Mr. President
Dear Mr. President: I just watched your appearance on “The View.” I had never watched the show before; I’d only seen clips on YouTube of Whoopi Goldberg saying what Roman Polanski did wasn’t “rape rape” and then defending Mel Gibson, because after all what he’s accused of doing isn’t really “abuse abuse.” The... »
