For a long time I’ve thought columnist Marc Thiessen was the most moronic ideologue on the Sentinel’s Opinion page, but Amy Goodman and Dennis Moynihan’s Jan. 29 paean to that protector of peace, human rights and democracy Vladimir Putin takes the cake for pure political idiocy. Tell it to the Ukrainians, Amy. Whatever credibility Goodman and Moynihan ever had as critics of American government or politics has been fatally fouled by this pile of steaming, um, irony. They should invite poor bullied Vlad to be their guest on “Autocracy Now!”

The Sentinel welcomes your letters to the editor. Letters should be short, no more than 150 words. We do not accept anonymous letters. Letter-writers should include their full name as well as a street address and telephone number. We don’t publish those details in the newspaper, but need the information for verification purposes. Occasionally, we reject letters simply because we’ve had so many on the same subject. Submit your letters online at www.santacruzsentinel.com/submit-letters.
