My letter to the Laconia Daily Sun re: Doug "the Donut Man" affair

Time to cull the herd...

   Bravo for Sun editor Ed Engler's courage in dismissing columnist Doug Lambert from his widely regarded paper.  It is time to cull the herd of conservative commentators.  There are just too many of them doing the yeoman's work of Republican strategist Grover Norquist, pushing the nation's political debate artificially down the rightwing end of the political spectrum.

  Many, like Doug "the donut man" Lambert, are bereft of discernable talent.   Lambert and his fellow travelers are like noxious stinging insects.  The buzz of yellow jackets without respite.   The same shopworn mantras without end.  All the while a weary citizenry has shifted in its political views away from the wing beat.

  Winter is coming.   There are too many drones in the hive.  Thank you Mr. Editor for showing Lambert the door.  A grateful community applauds your civic spirit.
