Run In With Mr. Edwards

Only if it is the Democrat. If it is the Republican, stand by for flowers and
poetry.

Hee hee! Ahem, not true.

Actually, the VERY NEXT DAY I was in Green Bay, WI, when Senator Herb Kohl
(D-WI) arrived at the FBO. (True, another Democrat, but that's completely
beside the point.)

He had no security at all, and precisely one lady waiting for him -- who
took SERIOUS umbrage with me railing on about Senator Edwards in particular,
and Congress in general, after my nasty little encounter with the Edward
Campaign the day before in Des Moines.

When I spouted that line about how "Edwards ain't NOTHING worth
protecting -- yet" she puffed up as big as a turkey and haughtily pronounced
"WELL, he IS a sitting U.S. Senator...!"

To which I caustically responded "...Which means he works for THE PEOPLE,
right?"

She thereupon fell completely silent, and turned away.

Honestly, the political class -- on BOTH sides of the aisle -- are getting
waay too big for their britches. In this regard Martin Hotze is absolutely,
100% correct when he says "They are POLITICIANS, for chrissakes, and they're
a dime a dozen."

(Did hell just freeze over? I just agreed with Martin on something! :-)

They got way too big for their britches years ago.

Seen on Kerry's campaign airplane: "the real deal"
oh yeah baby.

Are you telling me that as a serious contender for the California gubernatorial
office in October last year I should have had police protection?

We landed in Fresno at the same time the Goobernator was there three weeks
before the election, and he had cops coming out his ears. We were lucky to have
people to fuel the aircraft.

Just some random thoughts, mindya...

No.

But a personal security agent who happened to look exactly like Trinity (See
"The Matrix" sometime, Jim) would've been nice, I'm sure...

Maybe. Has anybody tried to shoot a California gubernatorial candidate?

Yes, with poor results (at least in the movies).
