[Rhodes22-list] This day in history

[Herb Parsons]

As I mentioned to another member, does that mean insulting your mother 
is OK as well? Where do you draw the line Rummy? And, if I say there's 
no doubt in my mind that that President George W Bush, who was "smart 
enough" to get a Masters in Business Administration from Harvard 
Business school, is undoubtedly smarter than you, does that mean I've 
broken protocol by insulting you?

Oh well, too bad.
