The correct answer is Verily, of course.  Fezzy's good too though, even if he was kind of a hack back in the old days.

Did any of the TS crowd ever actually meet him? He struck me as a guido, or future guido.  I'm curious to know if I was correct.

He was more of a dumb rich boy who paid for everything using Daddy's money.

Was channel flipping last night and saw Sen. Pryor's photo on CNN (Anderson Cooper) with the allegation that he was a Senator from Arizona.

LOL,

Well, I wonder if we could arrange a swap.  I'd be more than happy to trade Pryor for McVain.


ahh... hm ,
 the fact that I had to consider the pro's and con's on such an idea..

What? Guido? He has reddish hair and is Jewish. Not guido-ish at all. He doesn't even act that way.

No, I haven't met him though we've been pretty close to each other at major events.

He managed to get himself pseudo-famous for 5 minutes by helping to get a fake Tea Party candidate onto the ballot in NJ-03 last year.

Quote from: http://michellemalkin.com/2010/07/20/reports-dems-polluting-tea-party-in-new-jersey/
Asked through a Facebook message last Thursday about his signature on the petition, [MAS] wrote: “Yes, I signed that petition. I did so with regret because I was very disappointed in the Congressman’s (Adler’s) vote on health care.”

Runyan campaign adviser Russell responded: “That’s the most ridiculous, dishonest political spin I’ve ever heard. [MAS] is a professional political operative. He’s paid to run campaigns.”

Ridiculous and dishonest are certainly two descriptions for MAS117.

Yeah, MAS and I are cool but I love laughing at this one over and over and over again. Congressman Runyan thanks him!

The best part is MAS' logic: he was "mad" at the now late Congressman for voting against the healthcare proposal...so he signed the petition of someone who was supposed to be even further right on the issue. Good one.

While I don't doubt that MAS was upset with the vote, he wouldn't be that mad with Adler anyway. They were friends. So he was not only caught doing something stupid but decided to make an even more ridiculous excuse that could be easily uncovered.

Looking at it again, it looks like the background map is too small a scale.  That one might be a technical error, as opposed to stupidity.

Toulouse is off, but the rest would be right on a larger scale map.
