"That's my rep!"Lucky you. One of my senators is Arlen Spector, the other is Rick Santorum. It's pretty bad when Spector is the better legislator. FanSee

I have a pretty good Rep here--Russ Carnahan. My Senators, on the other hand, are lost causes. And I have the honor to be from the state that gave this country John Ashcroft!

That was Grrreat! (BTW..I'm going to get to your comments in a bit. I'm trying to get through the recent influx of emails sent to me by my crazy ladies).

no more need be said. I am a big, big fan of the well-worded, witty, pithy phrase. This one definitely qualifies.

And so few of our current crop of public figures is capable of coming out with a zinger like Mr. Rangel's. Alas! FanSee

What a line! He surely did make his point. Way OT FanSee, I saw Gil Shaham perform the Schuman Violin Concerto last month - a work so difficult it's considered to be unplayable by even some of the greatest violinists - and he ripped through that thing without breaking a sweat. He gave a remarkable performance which I'll remember for a long time. Like when you saw Nadia S-S.

I'll keep an eye out for Mr. Shaham. I don't think I've ever heard the Schuman performed. Which reminds me: I have a novel about Clara Schuman in my TBR pile. Mayhap I'll take it to NYC with me. Plenty of time to read on the bus. FanSee
