Dear John…a rebuttal to one pastor’s letter to Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

Dear Sarah, Dear John, I’ve been trying to reach you for a few days, but I know you’ve been busy lately with this whole White House Correspondents Dinner business—which I imagine you’re already pretty sick of talking about.

I promised an Oscars’s blogpost, and I’m delivering, with a bit of a delay. My little one had his tonsils and adenoids removed early Tuesday morning so life has been a little, well, hellacious.
