My letter to the Globe
Hi Guys,
I see you wrote about my blog post. I would like to offer some clarification. My blog post went up two days before any reports of Damon’s comments in Elle. When his comments came to the news’s attention, I reposted my blog on Twitter, prefacing it, as you noted, “With respect to my fellow Bostonian, Matt Damon.” Although I am a comedian, my use of the word “respect” was not a joke. So while Damon’s opinions about President Obama may fit in with the type of attitude I was criticizing, it is incorrect to say that I “skewered” him or called him a sissy, or aimed anything at his nether regions.
I would be very happy if you posted a correction. The time stamps on my blog will show the chronology. Interestingly, a few days before I wrote my blog post, I posted a piece about how much I love Matt Damon.
I would also be happy to speak with you, as I am passionate about the ideas in my post and have plenty more to say.
Thank you,
Rob
