Letter to Journalist Kathleen Parker

by Jason Roth
 
To: Kathleen Parker
Subject: Your article "Advice from one moose to another"
Date: 10/22/02

Ms. Parker,

I almost wish you'd get back to defending the rights of the unborn. Your latest article ("Advice from one moose to another") is infinitely more "empty, pathetic, and ludicrous" than the recommendations for "zig-zagging" put forth by the Montgomery County police chief whom you evidently get off on criticizing.

How *%$#ing dare you sit there at your computer and complain that his advice is of minimal or zero benefit to potential shooting victims? And to make your criticism in the voice of - of all the idiotic things on the freaking planet - Rocky and Bullwinkle? While a criminal investigation is taking place to find a SERIAL MURDERER, you have the gall to use such an unserious tone to tell a police chief to shut his mouth unless his advice meets your personal standards of helpfulness? Why don't you march back and forth in straight lines across a Home Depot parking lot, if that's what you really want to do, and shut *your* damn mouth? You've proved yourself to be nothing more than a talking head minus the head.

The following sentence you directed to Chief Moose was one which was quite appropriate in the voice of Rocky and Bullwinkle:

"At the current rate of police efficacy, and in light of criminology standards recently demonstrated, we respectfully submit that you might as well have hired a flying squirrel and a moose to solve this serial crime."

You dopey, backseat-driving bitch. Let the man do his job, and you stick with what you're obviously much more intellectually suited to: watching cartoons.

Sincerely,

Jason Roth

P.S. While you were busy spewing your Monday-morning-quarterbacking, the Montgomery County police picked up two possible suspects in a white van. Let's see if they benefited from your Rocky and Bullwinkle lecture and did something about that "police efficacy" problem.

P.P.S. How I refrained from using the "C" word is beyond me. What would Rocky and Bullwinkle think?

 

(Coincidentally, almost a year earlier, Ms. Parker got another letter from me. Ain't she lucky?)

Did you have an opinion on this? Then post a comment.
