The Oklahoman Practices Constructive Criticism

11:00 AM EST on February 23, 2010

A few weeks ago, a Lost Ogle reader let us know about a recent  experience he had with the Oklahoman editorial staff.  It started after he got up the nerve to email of those "letter to the editor" things.  Here is the letter:

The responses to James Mitchell's comments (Your Views, Jan. 20) overlooked a significant fact about Sarah Palin: She took an oath of office and committed to serve as the Governor of Alaska. However, when she realized that it would be more fun to write a book, travel the country, and go on TV; she quit. She defied her commitment and responsibility in favor of becoming a celebrity. Why would any thinking American want a president or vice-president who might quit when she sees something else that would be more fun? We need someone who has the integrity, maturity, and intelligence to honor commitments.
