        whereas Rove was YOUR thug - Enon - 11/9/2008 1:52:11 PM
        
        Oh, I see. He says things out loud so everyone can hear them, so that's bad. - Mary Anne - 11/8/2008 6:42:28 PM
        
        No it's great. He's a great guy. Now about that dead fish coming your way... - SDAI-Tech1 - 11/9/2008 1:36:04 AM

        No good. No evil. Only relative frames of reference. - SDAI-Tech1 - 11/9/2008 7:43:42 PM

  - Sure he exhibited some occasional youthful overexurberance during the Clinton years - z - 11/8/2008 12:13:16 AM
- And he's accepted the job. - Mary Anne - 11/6/2008 6:11:56 PM
