[Rhodes22-list] Brad, now my turn:

[Herb Parsons]

I think it's funny to watch someone debate her intent, when that same 
someone firmly backs the man infamous for his "it depends on what the 
meaning of the word 'is' is" comment.

You might be right about the 1,000 folks; however, they're not the folks 
I know and hang with. I guess people that get all their information from 
sound bites MIGHT think that... but then, those same folks probably 
think she submitted a list of books to be banned as well.

As a matter of fact, I think we have at least ONE of those folks right 
here on 'da list.
