Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That was the question of what you said that you wish you didn't say? His answer made me love him a little.
Yeah. His answer was awsome, but if ever there was a question to evade that is it. Who wants to bring up something you just want everyone to forget?
Am I seriously the only person who remembers, "Yeah, and you don't stop -- cuz it's 187 on an undercover cop"??
No, no you're not.
and you don't stop . . .
Who wants to bring up something you just want everyone to forget?
Yeah, of the seventeen people who even paid any attention the first time!
WHAT WAS IT?
I've done some reading up on him of late and have thought he's one of the best and unlikeliest candidates.
He said he admired a Supreme Court justice appointed by Kennedy (Whizzer White??), who turns out to have been against Roe and all kinds of other liberal things.
Edit: Yes, "Whizzer" is correct. [link]
I'm super fascinated by that phenomenon, actually -- presidents appointing justices who end up going against what the president would have gone for. I wonder if that will happen anymore.
The SO & I were talking about this. He voted for him in the last election and I didn't. We both criticized him in the past 'cause he's such a schmooze. But we've independently come to the conclusion that his policies are sound, his communication is excellent, and we really like how he's comported himself in this campaign. Part of the problem we were seeing earlier is that he's always running for President, and therefore wants everyone to love him.
But we got to thinking about it and I think the underlying personality of what I'm calling schmooze is diplomacy. And damned if we don't need a diplomat right now. He's experienced in foreign policy; he's experienced in energy. He's intimately familiar with the immigration issues in a way that no northern candidate is going to be.
In the end? We like Richardson. We think people should vote for him.
eta: We're both registered independent, so we have no say in the primaries, but that's our opinion.

Hooray for kidlet picspam! That last one of Gavin is beautiful.
Love the reflection in the Gavin + sea turtle picture. Very cool. Looks like fun, Allyson!
ALLYSON! I have something to tell you. Can you get to AIM?
