Letter: Let the public vote on Clinton's impeachment

University professors of journalism should really take a good, hard look at the subject they're teaching. A lot of modification is in order. It's fine to report to us what is happening, but please don't ram it down our throats every minute or on every page.

Who taught these reporters that the public needs to know how a grieving family feels after the death of a loved one? I do not need to know the opinions of various self-served persons who insist on dissecting a speech I had just heard. Most of the time it sounds nothing like what I had just listened to. Yet, this is all fed to us under the guise of "news."

If every member of Congress were to be as minutely examined as has President Clinton, there would be very few left. Which may be a good thing. They obviously are not doing the job we elected them to, but are spending far too much time (and money) listening to an airhead bimbo who, through her childish vindictiveness, will say anything to fulfill her fantasies.

This president is doing a fantastic job for us. If he had more cooperation from Congress he could have done much more. If this whole fiasco comes down to impeachment -- and judging by the Republicans frothing at the mouth, it probably will -- the voters should have the right to vote on it. It should not be handled by the very people who instigated the mess in the first place.
