I think it is shameful that private correspondence is posted. I remained single for many years. I had a close relationship with one of my bosses and what I read here reminds me of that. Since I was rather shy and quiet, but hard working and fiercely loyal, our relationship was not understood by everyone in the office. There was definitely a personal element to it, but it was in no way romantic. It was closer akin to sister to adoring brother. I later got to know my bosses' wife and I eventually became closer to her than him. They became like a second family, which I needed since I was away from mine. Too much should not be read into this. It's really a shame they are now public.
"I think it is shameful that private correspondence is posted.... Too much should not be read into this. It's really a shame they are now public."
You're also not a supreme court nominee. It's the law that they are now public. A country in which "private" correspondance of people in and seeking the highest offices of the land is top secret is a scary country... not ours.
Do you think Clintons medical records and Kerry's Navy records should have stayed private too?
I find it disgusting that the MSM now considers it appropriate to publish personal notes between two people for no reason except to try to create a sense of embarrassmnt over affection and regard expressed. Did we see a rush to obtain and publish birthday greetings written to Bill Clinton, Algore, Hillary, etc. by staff members??? Is there any real public need for this nonsense?
btw, I am confident that there must have been many many notes written to Bill Clinton by a wide variety of his appointees that were a lot more sentimental than these!
