Letter: Sununu strategy: Insult Nevadans

Monday, Jan. 21, 2002 | 9:05 a.m.

Once again Samuel Johnson is right -- "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

John Sununu, pimp for the nuclear industry, has the audacity to doubt our patriotism because we don't embrace the dumping of the nation's nuclear trash in our back yard. His fallacious assertion insults all Nevadans.

Then he further threatens us with a veiled threat of a tourist boycott to punish us for opposing the dump. What fools we suffer on this issue.
