Sep 2012

In fact, this morning I got a phone call from an old friend two time zones away. We had not talked for a long time but we had worked together on campaigns back in the 70s and 80s. I laughed to myself as I looked at the caller ID and knew he was up and watching the morning news and thinking "Oh My Fucking God..."

I picked up the phone and before I could even say hello he said "This is by far the worst run presidential campaign I have ever seen. What a bunch of hacks with an idiot for a client..." I chuckled and said "I am good, how are you?"

We then talked for over an hour doing a compare and contrast and concluded that he is his own adviser with a little "help" from John Bolton.
