“The American Thinker” deconstructs New York Times columnist Matt Bai, who looks back with fond nostalgia on the Weicker years in Connecticut and admires Attorney General Richard Blumenthal’s prosecutorial pluck, Christine O’Donnell assassins, Linda McMahon assassins, the elite media world, mainstream anger, Harvard University, Yale Law School, privileged politicians, Richard Blumenthal, assorted liars, squared jawed columnists who get heir kicks by deriding women, God, Darwin, and much more. A fun read.
I am writing this for members of my family, and for others who may be interested. My twin sister Donna died a few hours ago of stage three lung cancer. The end came quickly and somewhat unexpectedly. She was preceded in death by Lisa Pesci, my brother’s daughter, a woman of great courage who died still full of years, and my sister’s husband Craig Tobey Senior, who left her at a young age with a great gift: her accomplished son, Craig Tobey Jr. My sister was a woman of great strength, persistence and humor. To the end, she loved life and those who loved her. Her son Craig, a mere sapling when his father died, has grown up strong and straight. There is no crookedness in him. Thanks to Donna’s persistence and his own native talents, he graduated from Yale, taught school in Japan, there married Miyuki, a blessing from God. They moved to California – when that state, I may add, was yet full of opportunity – and both began to carve a living for them...

I just finished reading Matt Bai's article from the 9/26/2010 Sunday NY Times " The Great Connecticut Country-Club
Crackup". Matt writes on page 67 "Blumenthal has faithfully done the people's business all these years,in a way that has apparently gratified them. Matt does not know the Blumenthal that the people know who he and his army of assistant attorney generals have unmercifully attacked. The real Richard Blumenthal has not been introduced to the citizens of Connecticut only the Mr.Blumenthal that the media and his office sought to portray. Merely look to the more than 36,000 lawsuits that his office has undertaken. Or perhaps speak to the Hoffmans' as reported many times in your column and their plight, or the owners of New England Pelletri. Its important for the citizens to understand the role that should be expected of the Attorney General and not be misled by the one the media has presented to us for the last twenty years.
