I’ve just e-mailed an invitation to Sen. Hillary Clinton asking her to come on my WVOX radio show in New Rochelle. Forgive my pessimism, but I think my chances are pretty slim.
Kucinich—yeah, I can probably get him. Maybe Gravel. On the GOP side, my hero was Tommy Thompson, who looked like a G-man out of a 1930s gangster movie. Too bad Tommy dropped out of the race.
But Hillary? Well…
Gee whiz. I’m offering her a chance to be cool. Isn’t that one of her goals, to appear to be more fun-loving, a good sport and cool?

Anyway, I’ve written several columns in which I have said some unkind things about the senator. I called her a cyborg once—and she never forgot that.
Oh well. I think she should surprise me and accept the invitation anyway.

“To Whom It May Concern:

I am a columnist for The Journal News, a daily newspaper in Westchester
County, N.Y., which as you know is Sen. Clinton’s home county. My columns
also appear on the Web site, www.lohud.com, and from time to time in video form on News Center Now, a daily, two-hour news show produced by RNN-TV.

I believe the senator is aware of my written work.

But she may not know that I host a weekly radio show on WVOX, 1460-AM in New
Rochelle. I’d like to invite her to come on the show for a one-hour
interview.

OK, don’t laugh. I know what you guys are thinking. The station has about
the same reach as two tin cans tied to string. Nevertheless, the audience,
as small as it might be, is intelligent and influential. I think Mrs.
Clinton would be terrific.

Besides, this is her home town! Right?

So what do you say? Pick any Thursday. The show airs at noon.
Please let me know.

I can be reached via e-mail, or you can call me at 914-694-5008.

Thanks for your consideration,
Phil Reisman”
