Merriam-Webster says time and again means frequently, repeatedly. Perhaps Tapper just misspoke, but some editor somewhere ought to know better.

I get no kick from champagne
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you

Some get their kicks from cocaine...

I walked into 7/11 this morning for coffee and was instantly blinded by all the Hussein and Dear Wife pictures on the covers of magazines at the check out counter. From People to Time and all the rags in between. It’s taken me a few hours to recover my sanity and eyesight.

I have found that folks that drink vodka martinis are not light drinkers in general.

I love vodka in Cape Codders, etc. but only a real lover of vodka can drink it in a martini (just MHO of course).

Well, I’m a bourbon man myself. I probably still would be if I was President.

But carefully. :-)

is not a particularly big drinker,
though he has been known to enjoy
a vodka martini time and again.

Now imagine this if it were about
Bush, or any other Republican
for that matter.
