Dear Sen­a­tor Clinton,

Please do not sink to the level of a cer­tain other pub­lic fig­ure by con­duct­ing all of your photo ops before cheezy, col­or­ful plas­tic ban­ners dec­o­rated with banal slo­gans and designed by ama­teur typog­ra­phers with share­ware fonts (“POTUS Typo­graph­i­cus,” Metrop­o­lis Mag­a­zine, May 2006). I know you’re still decid­ing whether to run in 2008, but remem­ber: our coun­try needs a leader who is strong and res­olute, but above all, our coun­try des­per­ately needs a pres­i­dent with good taste.

Thank you for your atten­tion to this matter.

Sin­cerely,

Scott
