One, Tom Wilner, railed against the injustice: "George had absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything. He wasn't interested in ideas or books or causes. He didn't travel. He didn't read the newspapers. He didn't watch the news; he didn't even go to the movies… how anyone ever got out of Yale without developing some interest in the world besides booze and sports stuns me.''

Sounds like the kind of thing Falstaff might have said about Henry V.

By the way, I've been waiting expectantly to see the world change its course in consequence of the great intellectual prowess of Tom Wilner. Certainly any decade now ....

And as you know, as F. said of the Rats:

"A plague of all cowards and a vengeance too, merry and amen."

"...Tom Wilner."

Tom, who? Oh, that someone-or-another who is NOT the President of the United States. (snigger,snigger).

Is this the same "prominent" lawyer Tom Wilner that has been trying to get people out of Guantanimo?
