“You try getting an appointment with a specialist in the next 21 days and let me know how that works out.”

“Especially since they are ALWAYS upset anyway.”

“Agreed. Keeping lines of negotiation open for nuclear arms talks is much more important than the egos of a bunch if stubborn and wilfully stupid American congressmen.”

“"How did you find me?" "I'm the man." He sure was.”

“I agree re Kill Bill 2! I think it's one of David Carradine's best!”

“I don't think that your point is necessarily incompatible with Mr. Nickolas's. Yes, even latecomers should be welcomed into the LGBT movement, but that doesn't detract from the curious fact that Steve Schmidt is suddenly very vocal about the issue of gay marriage. The point of this article is he's an opportunist; he's an astute political observer so he seizes on gay rights because he sees that as a way of remaining relevant in future elections. I wish Mr. Nickolas would have elaborated on Schmidt's earlier views more to prove his point, but we all know that the candidate and platform that Schmidt supported so vigorously last fall stands in stark contrast to what he's now espousing. Maybe he genuinely believes in gay rights, and I hope he does, but if, as he said, these are positions he held during the election, then it's unfortunate that this wasn't reflected - in the campaign he managed. If he is only now speaking out as a matter of political expediency, then it's hard to object to Mr. Nickolas's analysis. Schmidt may advance the cause, but he'll only do it so long as it benefits him.”

“Criticism of Paul Krugman should be grounded in ideas, not in vendettas by Obamaniacs who resent that someone dared, DARED, to publicly contradict their political hero.”

“Politically feasible and quick and dirty first are not always the same. If what Krugman and others wanted done months ago had happened we would be out of this mess right now.”

“Did you read what he said? He has been right most of the time.

Mr Geithner just testified today that we don't need a backup plan because "this plan will work". You need to do some research on who Mr Geithner is. Also check out who Mr Larry Summers is and his involvement in the deregulation that started in 1999. Geithner and Summers have been the architects and cheerleaders for this disaster. They still don't see any problems with the current system except to give Mr Geithner more power.

Pay particular attention to how Geithner helped Goldman Sachs.”

“Todayslies--So, Krugman, who puts his name on his very public ideas, who has been right about the most important economic matters of the last years, who has explained why he thinks Obama's approach to saving the banks is risky, who has even suggested a less risky approach, is...a PUMA member? And therefore, we should ignore the content of everything he says???? Just making sure I'm following your argument.”

“That would of course explain why after the New Deal, the RP never again came to power I suppose.”

“Point taken. I tend to agree with you.

BTW - you want to avoid phrases like 'blind anti-semitism'”

“Well, she did back Hillary to the bitter end. I personally like Mr. Panetta.”

“Look at the Senator's last name and think of world geography. May be it would become clear why she doesn't like the moderate, level headed man and would rather prefer a hawkish director.”

“Oh Pleeeeeaaasse!!”

“"Also, the common words words I keep hearing describing Caroline Kennedy are "shy" and "reticent". Are these words one most often associates with POLITICIANS? Are they words most often associated with NY VOTERS?"

Very good point. New Yorkers are not shy and reticent, and while we recognize that shyness and reticence may be assets at Junior League meetings, they are not necessarily helpful if one's job is to wheel and deal in the Senate.”
