Dear Nancy Franklin, "People in Fly over country don’t buy your kind of bullshit"

We actually look forward to the hate mail. Though this is particularly choice, from New Yorker TV critic Nancy Franklin. “I wrote about [Glenn] Beck last month, and now I’ve reconsidered my opinion of him and what he has to offer. I got a letter from a reader-not a letter, exactly, but my own piece torn from the issue and written on with black magic marker-that makes me realize how blind I’ve been.”

I think that was sarcastic!

She goes on: “I don’t know the reader’s name or sex, only that the envelope was postmarked Little Rock. With the kind of tenderness that John Adams expressed in letters to his wife and the wit of Mark Twain, the reader wrote: “Hey Nancy Liberal ass holes like you ought to pay some attention to what Glenn Beck-as well as Rush Limbaugh and other right wing people have to say. People in Fly over country don’t buy your kind of bullshit. You don’t have a Fucking clue to how the real world works. Have a nice rest of the year idiot!” Thanks, you, too! Too bad there was no return address-I could have told my dear reader that I myself have never used the term ‘flyover country,’ and that not only did I not I not fly over his country this year, I flew to it. That’s right, I went to Arkansas. By choice. On vacation. I spent a week there, and went to Little Rock, Fayetteville, Eureka Springs, Fort Smith, and Hot Springs. So there. Also, there should be a comma before ‘idiot.’”

I KNOW, that comma thing was driving me CRAZY.
