An Open Letter to Janet Reno

Dear Ms. Reno;

After eight years, you are leaving the office of Attorney General of the United States. During your tenure in office, you have endured considerable criticism. You have been vilified, ridiculed and forced to testify before hostile congressional committees. You have been lampooned on the late-night sketch comedy and talk shows. Without taking a position on your actions while in office as America's top law enforcement agent, it occurs to me that such constant criticism must have taken a toll on your self-esteem.

I believe I have a solution. Now that you will once again be a private citizen and free from the constraints of public office, I would like to offer you the sum of $500,000 to pose for a series of fully nude photos. You have my assurance that the pictures will be tasteful, and will be taken by a prominent art photographer.

The $500,000 fee will be in the form of a cashier's check and will be paid upon the completion of the photo shoot, in exchange for all rights to the photos.

It is my belief that this offer will enable you to make a clean break from your past as, arguably, the most criticized woman in America.  This is your opportunity, Ms. Reno, to show the world your feminine, sensitive side. The world wants to see the real you, the Janet Reno within. 

Don't let this opportunity for personal freedom and expression to escape you, Ms. Reno. You may write to bob@crankymediaguy.com. I will be eagerly awaiting your response.
