Mr. Ari Fleischer
White House Press Secretary
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. Fleischer,
I speak for many Americans in saying, “Sorry to see you go!” You were my second favorite White House Press Secretary of all time. I liked you better than Marlon Fitzwater and even Ron Zeigler!
Can you guess who my favorite White House Press Secretary of all time is? It’s CJ Craig on The West Wing. I know it’s not fair to compare you--it’s just a matter of different styles. It would be like comparing George W. Bush and Jeb Bartlet--it’s not that one is better than the other--they just have different styles.
Anyway, you’re my second favorite, and that’s pretty good considering how many there have been! By the way, do you ever watch The West Wing? Do you like CJ Craig?
Good luck in your life after the White House. Are you going to write a book?
Sincerely,
Carl Estrada
P.S. Could you send me a picture? Autographed if you can. Make it out to my grandson, Lester. You’re his favorite. (Of course, West Wing is on past his bedtime.)
