that's because he was on my side in the OJ trial~!

i am telling you, you will love this Christopher Buckley novel. there are allusions to the OJ case, the Dershowitz character is named Alan CRUDMAN in the book.

[xsmommy]

oh make me feel worse, whydoncha? : (

[xsmommy]

in reality the novel is probably more lawyer-bashing than political, even though the characters are all loosely based on real life political characters.

[xsmommy]

There was xshub all weekend wanting to read aloud to me from the novel and i am hard pressed not to start reading it out loud here in the classroom!

[Cyber Liberty]

Hey, toots! I have something for you here...something you've been waiting for weeks to get.

[CholeraJoe]

I finished "Bush at War." It was a good read and pretty complimentary considering who wrote it.

[xsmommy]

An old saying comes to mind, something about "The Company you keep..."

[xsmommy]

well for some light reading, i suggest the Buckley book, xshub finished it in a day and carried on like a nut about it, saying he was surprised he hadn't woken me up LHAO while reading it on Friday PM. and he NEVER reads fiction.

[Cyber Liberty]

Awwwww, it's harmless....

[xsmommy]

well you had Dershowitz, Greta Van Sustern, Johnny Cochran and assorted other dirtbags that i used to see on Geraldo....

[xsmommy]

i'll bet....

[Cyber Liberty]

Well, I guess you'll never find out...Miss Slippy hasn't answered my ping.

[xsmommy]

oh she'll surface sooner or later!

[NeoCaveman]

The best jive talker is June Cleaver in the "Airplane" movie!

Funny scene in a very funny movie.

[xsmommy]

ah the Elian story resurfaces on FR on its anniversary date. oh for the good old days....now that was some bashing!

[NeoCaveman]

And speak of funny, this comment comment had me rolling

[xsmommy]

[NeoCaveman]

I'm just hoping you didn't get struck by lightning for the above comment....
