I did see a documentary a few years ago that said Carter came into office bringing into his administration people who were naive in what they thought they could do, and condescending to the Democratic power structure of the day.
The analysis I have picked up somewhere and retained -- which doesn't mean it's accurate but it stuck in my head -- is related to that. Basically, Carter's campaign was largely about how he wasn't a DC insider and so so he'd be shaking things up and wouldn't be doing business as usual and all that. And in his case he really was an outsider, and that was the problem. He and his staff didn't have connections with anyone in DC, and so he couldn't get anything done.
That was a good episode of House. DH had a lot of ideas about who Wilson was seeing but he did not guess
Amber. Why he knew her name and I knew her as cutthroatbitch is beyond me.
But there were just some amazing lines. Really funny
I was on the phone for most of House and had the sound off. The end looked like
the problem all along was a broken toe.
Is that really what happened?
megan - kind of what I had guesssed, but the biopic made me curious about what happened to her brothers and sisters. . . they all seemed in such a precarious position.
aurelia
yes. a badly broken toe that was letting bone marrow in the blood stream and causing clots.
The only issue I had with the
broken toe
on House is that
he justified her not feeling it by it being cold, but I'm not sure that I buy it being so cold that she couldn't feel a badly broken toe
.
Don't ask why I'm now skimming through tivo'd pre-game show stuff, but did any of you see that Hugh Laurie got a wee appearance with Ryan Seacrest, saying this was not only his first Super Bowl, but also his first game of American football. And he picked the Giants.
The indignities of having to be on Fox and plug your show.
LOVED this superbowl. didn't really care about it, but what a great game.
Actually the first three quarter sucked, and the last quarter was crazy/amazing/bizarre. Still a very exciting final 15 minutes.
Pats totally deserved to lose. That go-ahead TD to Moss only happened because the Giants defender fell down. Pure luck.
Whereas E. Manning's break-the-tackles-scramble-hit-Tyree play is instantly legendary.

I Tivo'd and watched it again and again and again. Awesome.
