Did I miss something, I said I thought he would make an excellent public servant. I am sure he learned much during Nixon's term. Yeah, Nixon had his troubles but I do not hold that against Ben.

You wrote: "... he would make an exellent public servant."

I responded: "Putting words in the mouth of a U.S. president counts as public service, yes? (Stein was a speechwriter for Nixon.)"

You responded: "Did I miss something, I said I thought he would make an excellent public servant. I am sure he learned much during Nixon's term. Yeah, Nixon had his troubles but I do not hold that against Ben."

All right, now ... where are confusing each other here? You said Stein WOULD MAKE an excellent public servant, and I simply responded by saying that, well, in a way Stein ALREADY HAS BEEN a public servant. And I made a goofy little play on words about a speechwriter putting words in a president's mouth.

What's the controversy?

I have a huge amount of respect for Mr. Nixon. he ended that god forsaken Vietnam war. No matter what else, he saved a lot of young men from dying.
