Surrounded by liberal classmates, he began to think of himself as Republican. His agenda wasnt particularly partisan working to ban smoking in a dining hall, fighting for cable TV in the dorms. But the seeds of his contentious relationship with the press had already been sown.

The paper had called him Sean Sphincter.

(17,103 posts)9. Or maybe just "Spice Sphincter."
A few cloves and peppercorns may make him even more animated and ill-tempered.
