Homepage Publications E-mail Guestbook Central Published 20 January 1998 in the (Greensboro, NC) Correction In a letter published Sunday responding to a recent column about the late Rep. Sonny Bono, reader James M. Wallace of Greensboro cited the constitutional qualifications for service in the U.S. House of Representatives. As the result of a typographical error the minimum age was given as 45 years old. The correct minimum age is 25. Published 18 January 1998 in the (Greensboro, NC) Note: Errors in published version are those of the 's editors; please refer to submitted version below Froma Harrop insulted memory of Sonny Bono Why is it that those on the political left screech in moral indignation when the foibles of the dearly departed of their ilk (Ron Brown, Michael Kennedy, etc.) are mentioned after their deaths, but display no compunction while urinating on the graves of their opponents on the right? Witness the exceptionally petty and extraordinarily mean-spirited attack on the late Representative Sonny Bono by Froma Harrop ("Bono was a clown, not a congressman," Jan. 12). Contrary to her spurious assertions, Bono, as a member of the 1994 freshman class which won Republican control of Congress, was a foot soldier in the revolution to restore American civilization after 40-plus years of the Democrats' socialist depredations. As he was a second-term representative, it would be unreasonable to have expected him to be leading the charge. Even so, one must remember that even the greatest general accomplishes nothing without the devoted exertions of the lowliest private. | |
