I think when you pull the string he should just smile, close his eyes and sigh.

Regarding the list, I have a deep respect for bribery, payola and commercial interests in general, so I voted you neither up nor down, but you might notice how Kim Klaver, an early leader, simply sank out of sight…

I paid good money to be at the top of that list, dammit, and I don’t want you f’n with it. And I’ve been working on your “Limited Edition 10th Anniversary My Little Frankie” doll. Figuring out what he should say when the string is pulled, well, that’s been the biggest challenge so far.

My overnight Crooks & Liars newsletter had this link ( http://tinyurl.com/ybd9hh ) to a WashPost article where Bob Woodward reveals 2004 interview with Ford saying he disagreed with Bush on Iraq war. Ford also highly critical of Rumsfeld and Cheney.

No way am I defending Ford. But just wondering why so many of these celebs who supposedly love their country will sit back and remain silent so as not to rock the party line. In this case we have squandered many billions and sent 1000s to the killing fields to die in the name of freedom, when a healthy debate sparked by an ex-Prez of their own party might, just might, have changed the course of events.

Glad you’re back online.

I found this Q & A (below) during some comments surfing. Ot irks me to no end that the press sorpses have been casying Ford’s pardon of Nixon as a “healing” for the great nation .. arguably a real trial would have been the start of the more realistic healing the USA needed at that point. Ford’s pardon of Nixon helped lay the foundation for the ubiquitous dishonesty that is now “best practices” in DC.

WHY was Reagan a good president?

Because his name, Ronald Wilson Reagan, is an anagram of Insane Anglo Warlord. How cool is that?
