Yeah, he posted something pretty good, don’t recall what, and I replied “Crowder, you magnificent bastard!” and got really offended. That was a takeoff from Bush to Rove, a big compliment at the time.
Of course, that goes back a little further (Patton to Rommel), but it is indeed a compliment.
Yeah. The, “You magnificent bastard!” was used a lot during the Bush 2 times here.
He either must not have seen, “Patton,” or wasn’t used to FR’s way of phrasing things -or initiation/hazing for newbies.
Kinda sad. I’ll bet that chased off a lot of great people over the years who could have contributed to the site in beneficial ways.
I still have his email address when he was here back then. I’ll shoot him a hello, and see if he still uses it.
