>>Christy, my callers are starting to blame me for your campaign, saying I created you.

So Howie may be the Larry King ("c'mon Ross, you should run...") of Mihos? (And we remember what we got when Perot ran in '92).

BTW I think the "speaking truth to power" slogan is right out of JOHN KERRY's playbook

Made me curious so I did a search and found ...

The phrase "speaking truth to power" goes back to 1955, when the American Friends Service Committee published Speak Truth to Power, a pamphlet ii at proposed a new approach to the Cold War. Its title, which came to Friend Milton Mayer toward the end of the week in summer 1954 when the composing committee finished work on the document, has become almost a cliche; it has become common far beyond Quaker circles, often used by people who have no idea of its origins. (One current example: Anita Hill entitled her memoir of her sensational charges of sexual harassment against Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, Speaking Truth to Power.)
