LOL!
"The same thing happened to ER and he's brighter and more street-smart than all the rest of you combined."
Is ER derriere-kissing while demeaning almost the entire rest of the (leftist) Zone now part of your megalomania?
When TB and I throw sugar at ER about his intellectual prowess as a leftist it's because we're being politely patronizing and on the opposite side of the political aisle...I don't exactly know what you can call this tactic with your fellow leftists - the knife to one's own throat?
Or is getting a bit of constructive criticism from Tony simply too painful?
If you want, I'm sure the few righties here will gladly take to calling you and ER the "brightest leftists on the entire HZ" - I'm sure it will help with your popularity and people skills. As for the truth of the statement every leftist knows what to expect from us conservatives.
