.....SNIP

KURTZ: Although I have interviewed Rather and Andrew Heyward, the president of CBS News, and I said, well, look, who are your document experts? So they finally gave me the name of a handwriting expert in San Francisco, and I called him, and he says, I am muzzled, I can't talk, CBS has asked me not to talk to the press....

You never play "good cop bad cop"? I always liked being "bad cop" but someone has to play "good cop."

This is San Francisco....check out the Fulsom St annual leather parade in a couple of weeks....for some examples of "muzzled-hog-tied -prisoner stuff" on the hoof.

Been away too long and although I remember your ScreenName I don't remember your style.

This is Missouri. We're not accustomed to the leather stuff yet.

You ARE joking, right?

[Erasmus]

I don't know...this thing has lasted three days and counting! No sex act can last that long...can it?

Only if you're well stocked with Viacom.

I hope you didn't miss this little nugget in that article:

KURTZ: I want to read a couple of sentences in the book, to give you a flavor of it. Here's a quote. "I'll bet George W. went to Hazelden too" -- the alcohol rehab facility -- "but I can't prove it." Mary Louise Oates, who happens to be the wife of Democratic strategist, Kerry strategist Bob Shrum.

There's a blast from the past. I can remember sitting around the HiFi with the family listening to his records.

I went to our local auditorium to catch his act, but I had to stand in the back where the acoustics were terrible. I couldn't hear a thing.

I am muzzled, I can't talk, CBS has asked me not to talk to the press....

Can they do that?

Isn't that censorship, violation of freedom of speech, etc.?

[Mo1]

and I called him, and he says, I am muzzled, I can't talk, CBS has asked me not to talk to the press

Hey CBS .. care to answer why??

[WOSG]

LOL!!!

BTTT

[Deb]

Remember "60 Minutes" and Andy Heyward (with Andy Lack producing) did the disgraceful hatchet job on Gen. William Westmoreland.

Pitkin was great today at the rally in DC.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I'm glad he got the chance to make amends.

I forgive him.

[NYCVirago]

Tucker, Joe the schmoe from MSNBC, and O'Reilly - girly boys (not girly men - none of them got as far as "man" in my book.)

You got that right! And Tucker Carlson isn't even voting for Bush, because Bush didn't immediately rush back to DC on 9/11. What a loser.

Marcel Marceau...the act that launched a thousand jokes.

[PJ-Comix]

Pitkin was great today at the rally in DC.

I remember reading that Pitkin said that even back in the early 70s, other folks were already calling Kerry "Lurch." I wonder if any of them called him Lurch to his face?
