Now Ron Reagan is saying Zell loved Kerry just 3 years ago, and he was bought off.

So easily defused by Zell's line about the implications/ramifications of electing a Senator are completing different from those of the man who's finger will be on the nuke/war trigger.

There are lots of freepers I recommend to volunteer for a freep protest, few I'd recommend take over my business. Surely the GOP won't struggle a second at slapping that spin down.

I think Zell will take care of slapping that one down on his own.

Something happened to Zell. He didn't admit it, but Zell himself changed. I suspect he is like those that struggled, back when, as inconvenient empirical evidence piled up, to explain with ever more complexity, that the Earth was the center of the universe; and then finally he realized that the Rube Goldberg model was a lie, and it was time to go back to more straight forward, more simple, and and thus more "elegant" models (I love that word, elegant, it is one of the most splendid in our language), to rationalize the accumulated evidence, that the earth itself orbited around the sun, rather than the reverse. At that point, the inherently unstable house of cards came tumbling down, and it was time to build a new structure, from the foundation up.
