lol; was reading & just going to ping to you.
back to your last post... I misread?:
“Mr. Schumer joined Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina *and another eventual member of the Gang of Eight,* at the Palm restaurant in Manhattan, where they made their case to Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Ailes and Mr. Limbaugh in a private room.”
Ailes, Murdoch, Schumer, Graham, Rush at the March 9, 2011 dinner.
No 6th person?-— the “and another eventual member of the Gang of Eight” is Graham.
Schumer & Graham pitching to Ailes, Murdoch, & Rush.
Hmm... The more I think about it...quite an exclusive gathering and productive pitch. At the very least, they nabbed 2 out of 3.

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
EXCERPT
RUSH: ... And the person that taught me to deal with this and to remain psychologically healthy was Roger Ailes. And had that not happened I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am tonight. My relationship with Roger has been more deeply personal on a friendship level and a professional level than I’ve never experienced with anybody else that I’ve worked for or worked with. And even though Roger has had nothing to do with my radio show — he was the exec producer of my TV show for four years — the things I’ve learned from him about being a man, about the country, about how to be a professional, nobody else taught me.
