So I got this thing in the mail from an organization called “Friends of Hillary” and naturally I thought, “Hey, Hillary Duff finally wants to extend her friendship to me. It’s about time.”

But I was wrong. Actually it was a “survey” from a lady I have written way less love notes to, Hillary Clinton. I put “survey” in quotes because it contained questions like this one:

How concerned are you that the massive budget deficits caused by Republican economic and tax policies will inevitably result in drastic cuts in Social Security, Medicare, education, and social services?

I’m not a lawyer like my new friend Hillary, but I think that’s what they refer to as a leading question. I worry that this letter she sent me falls less into the category of survey, and more into the category of partisan political propoganda. And I don’t think it falls into the category of love note at all.

I think I’ll write Hillary Duff again and see what she thinks.
