<p>that, i believe, was her side of the story</p>
<p>positively Shakespeherian isn’t it allmusic. by the way, what’s between your legs?(trying to be rugged and crude to meet driver’s high standards)</p>
<p>rorosen:</p>
<p>You’re not hankering after Madeline Albright, are you? She had the UN all a-twitter with her references to cujones. Or is Margaret Thatcher, “the only real man in her cabinet?”</p>
<p>cgm you needs a backrub,…and more</p>
<p>no i never found either of those women particularly attractive. happens now and then.</p>
<p>Positively not what you purport to have between yours, Ro, and I appreciate your effort to meet Driver’s standards.</p>
<p>pretending this is a pm, marite, i confide that the funny thing about driver’s disappointing low blow, connecting elaborate well-considered language with weak opinions and unmasculine attributes, is that in life I am rather large and strong and known to be somewhat aggressive, demanding and intimidationg to the extent that people who later get to know me confess these earlier impressions. To be considered flowery and effeminate(as she wrote before modifying her decision) is actually somewhat flattering.</p>
<p>You mean Helen made it up? Me, I think Ulysses had a grand old time in Troy and in the Aegean and was in no hurry to get back home. His story about one-eyed monsters, bewitching pigs, etc… pshaw… excuses, excuses. </p>
<p>Now Pallas Athene was wise, unlike either of her parents.</p>
<p>allmusic, you are just getting better and better,…</p>
<p>she had the advantage of a sympathetic press,…</p>
<p>OK, conference-calling in on the pretend PM. There was no low blow intended, Ro. My God, you’re sensitive for such a big hulking hunk and I think it’s good that you’re in touch with your feminine side.</p>
<p>Well, they do say Homer was blind…</p>
<p>Ro, isn’t it funny that your masculinity keeps being challenged in the cafe? What’s in the waters here? :(</p>
<p>I don’t know. maybe i should go howl in the woods with Bobby Bly.</p>
<p>driver, you’re partially forgiven.(not that I’m saying you should care. Put down that tomahawk!)</p>
<p>so, I don’t think I’m gonna vote for george bush again,…</p>
<p>Giuliani is the happening thing. You just watch. And boy, is he ever a macho guy who’s in touch with his feminine side.</p>
<p>Stifle yourself, Edith!</p>
<p>really driver, I’m beginning to question your ability to judge horseflesh. But before opening the discussion to what particular breed of dog Giuliani reminds me of, I’d like to return to my notion that a figurehead ought to be able to figure.</p>
<p>o.k it’s the one with the big head and a row of little teeth jutting out from above the upper lip,…</p>
<p>OK, I’ll have to file all that in the undecipherabley flowery category. But I do think that we’re heading toward the Giuliani/Hillary contest that we were cheated out of a few years ago. Oh yeah.</p>
<p>It’s better than a comedy club in here. Driver, there is no way that Hillary will be nominated for president, unless you Republicans nominate her. </p>
<p>And about the Bush/Blair conversation that opened the thread, what worries me the most about it, and this comes through much more clearly in the video, is Bush’s complete lack of interest in the current crisis.</p>
