Look who's talking. Who do you think you are saying **** like that about
me when you couldn't get on radio, TV, or the corner bar with what you
know.



We didn't make the jackass claim to be "smart, knowledgeable, and well
liked", you did.


You boys claim to be not only as good as me but better.


We're better because we don't claim expertise we don't have.


You guys are a joke. You ask me why I'm not one of the couple
dozen people who get the best jobs in the world.


You called it something significantly different a few months ago.


What was that?


Looks as if your memory is ****ed up even worse than previously thought.


What's your excuse? How
come you're not a TV personality? Pretty stupid question isn't it?
That's what you're asking me. How come I'm not on TV? Duh! How come you
don't play pro basketball?


A truly irrelevant question, but one I will answer.


That question is certainly no less relevant than


It's irrelevant.


But yes I do not play "pro" basketball, but then neither do you, but
as well neither of us has claimed to have that skill set.
Among other reasons I don't play, is that I never had any interest in
obtaining that skill set.


The point is you aren't successful on that level and you ask me why I'm
not as successful as Carville or Rove.


But he never claimed any expertise at playing basketball. You have
claimed to be every bit as knowledgeable about politics as Carville and
Rove. Clearly you're not.


You, however, in your usual braggart fashion, claimed to have the
skill set of a "talking head".




Your problem is that you have misinterpreted a simple recitation of
facts as bragging.


It was nothing but bragging; no facts.
