[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Brad -- What Does He Mean?

[Brad Haslett]

Bill,

Not bad political advice, really.  He's still the media darling and
will be for a good while longer (Time mag "Man of the Year" and all).
Nixon fired the Special Prosecutor it and it bought him some time.
The One has better political skills than Nixon, for now anyway.  I'm
waiting to see what Blago has to say.  It sure doesn't look like he's
backing down yet.  Rezko's sentencing has been postponed once again so
he's not through talking.  A lot can happen in the next three weeks. O
blowing off reporters like he did yesterday will get old among the
press corp pretty quickly.  The press is like how Churchill described
the Germans, "they either at your throat or at your feet".  They'll
get tired of smelling his socks soon enough. We'd better stock up on
popcorn.
