[NYCGirl]

A Thank You note from 1995 to Bill Clinton

When Stephen Rodrick profiled former senator Fred Thompson, also the incumbent New York County district attorney on Law & Order and an all-but-declared presidential candidate in real life, Rodrick took a look at Thompson's Senate papers, which the then-lapsed politician donated to the University of Tennessee in 2005. Among them was a good deal of his senatorial correspondence, both letters received and those sent. And there were some good ones. After the jump, highlights from a few of our favorites.

• January 29, 1996, letter of apology from Bruce Willis: "With your help, and the help many like you, our government may again be for and by the people, serving them by opening windows and allowing the free enterprise system to work instead of hindering them with debt, waste, taxes and failed programs and policies. … P.S. You were great in Die Hard … P.S.S. I'm doing a WWII action picture this year that you'd be perfect for … if you're interested."
