Letter: GOP is big on the letter 'L'

Republican presidents, beginning with Ronald Reagan, have created a special "L" word.

There was Ronald Reagan's frequent use of his derogatory term "liberal," G.H.W. Bush's use of the word "lips," as in "Read my lips," and now we have G.W. Bush's special "L" word: "layoffs."
