The Guy who wrote that book was James A Bayard III, and the guy who made that comment you found was Thomas F Bayard. Still, Thomas F Bayard worked as his father's legal assistant for years, so it's doubtful that his opinion would vary greatly from that of his father.
It's still an excellent find, and it STILL proves Jeff is an idiot.
Thanks for the info! I thought there might be a familial connection, but hadn't looked it up yet.
