Didn't know that, and didn't read the book. I knew Boies was a POS from 2000. There were a lot of threads here at the time. I've still got a meme that one Freeper made of what Boies' yellow legal pad notes must have looked like during Gore v. Bush. It was a hoot. I don't use a hosting site, so can't post it, but it was very funny. That's why his name stuck in my mind.
I'm an avid reader, but not of any current political, or current affairs stuff. I'm an avid historian, who reads about the history of the past, and some of what I read about that happened in the past, I see repeating itself today.
