Subject: RE: BS: US speaker of the house does what?
I've been moved to tears myself but not time and time again about nothing.Can you imagine what our enemies think of that?

I remember years ago when Ed Muskie was running for VP, he was exhausted and the editor of the newspaper,The Union Leader, Loeb was his name, was saying nasty things about Eds wife. Ed went there to talk to him but the damned coward wouldn't come out of his hole. Muskie was furious and overcome with wanting to kick that asshole's ass. Republicans accused him of crying. He was not crying. We were not bosom buddies but I knew him well enough to know he was a real man with a temper.
