“Dear State Representative Robert Foster and former Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr.,

At a time when young people in your state of Mississippi are dealing with both the lowest earnings and the highest unemployment rate for their age group, when tens of thousands of people don’t have health insurance in part because of the refusal of current leadership to expand Medicaid, you have made your way into the headlines by boldly pledging not to meet alone with a woman other than your wife. Congratulations to both of you for all of this national coverage.

Your constituents probably won’t know anytime soon, if ever, whether this proclamation was inspired solely by the teachings of Billy Graham, by a fascination with the Victorian era or doubts about your own self control, but there are a few questions to consider to make sure you are achieving your stated goal of avoiding speculation resulting from the evils of the #MeToo movement.”
