John, would you really refer to Janet Reno as a 'charming weirdo'???? I can think of lost of names, epithets, and descriptions, but that surely would be far down my list.

Brian, that post was a feeble one-time attempt to write straight prose, uninflected, unaccusatory, undiabolical, un-nuts, un-understandable.

It took days of agony to arrive at empty perfection, to say nothing with crystal clear aplomb, foreign policy piquant, transparent balderdash cover-up of bald-face lies delivered deadpan grammatically.

I been studying James Rubin's disarmingly weird repartee at the State Department press conferences. Today he asked a reporter to define "who's got the con" for foreign policy. (Laughter, the transcript hooted.)

"Charming weirdo" is the Secretary of State's and Rubin's demonic auto-epithet for her, emulating homicidal Maggie Thatcher hiding her demure will to slaughter.

Swear to god this is the last time I'll try to ape well-mannered civil discourse. You got the con: It's too sicko wacko. Back to incoherent snarl of ignorant brutes chewing leg off for freedom.
