[Al Simmons]

You think I've been asleep for the past 20 years? I've watched him since he first surfaced in the Reagan Administration; He IS a brilliant man, a little TOO anxious to show you just HOW brilliant, however, a great demagogic speaker, but a lousy politician.

His campaigns of late got him into the public's eye, undoubtedly stroked his ego, and helped him pay the mortgage.

But as far as having any influence on the electoral process - nada. You notice that Dubya didn't appoint him to his administration, didn't you?

He is cut out to be a charismatic college professor, that would be his best role.
