#1 Kills me that I missed this interview. But about Imus. The cowboy hat costume thingie. Unless he's paid to wear it, then he should bag it. One of my creeds to live by. Beware of people who wear costumes unless they are paid professionals. And of course never drink alcohol before 5pm, under normal circumstance!

Wonder if Imus' advise penetrated Li-il Lord Fountleroys' long forhead.

Noon is my start time.

#3 That’s the trouble with the koolaid drinkers. They think that Albright was successful when she was outwitted by North Korea, Iraq, Serbia, PRC, Vietnam, Haiti, well you get the picture. Just think how great things will be when you put in McPeak and Clark as SecDef? Wow a cold chill when up my spine as I typed that!

#4 I heard parts of the interview. Imus kept trying to get sKerry to show some passion, but Lurch just kept falling back into his talking points and droning on about Bush's bad choices. Imus wants to be in the tank for Kerry, but after the interview, he and his studio dudes were discussing how uninspired he was. The phrase they used was "jump ugly"...ie, they want Kerry to directly challenge Bush, not try to undermine him. They seemed rather sad, actually...

#5 Sam Nunn? That surprises me a little. But then, is there anyone who ISN'T advising the Kerry Campaign? Seriously... I think this must be their 'job growth' idea: just hire everybody in sight for the campaign.

#6 Schizophrenia at work here. You can't simultaneously put forward reasonably hawkish old Dems like Holbrooke and pacifistic idiots like Jimmah and still expect to convince anyone of your seriousness.

#7 Imus, for all his idiosyncracies, has quite a bit of personal honor, and goes ballistic when he thinks he's being BS'd. Sorta like O'Reilly before he started to try to schmooze Kerry into an interview...

#8 Imus is a pretty good bellwether of popular attitudes. Has the crowd-pleasing instincts of a Leno and the political instincts of a Dick Morris.

I figure with all the time zones, it's always 5 pm somewhere!

THINK GLOBALLY
DRINK LOCALLY

#10 Note to sKerry: You've probably been too busy to read the papers, but there's a good reason why Kimmie was so amused while Albright toasted him. He was picturing her nuked, with a morning-after glow. And she was clueless until "this group" took over. Yeah, recycle that mistake and we'll all be glowing.

P.S. -- Be sure to get Teddy to campaign for you as much as he can. Maybe Kimmie would like to put in another good word for you too.

#11 Lucky - Imus born/raised in TX (IIRC) has the Imus Ranch for kids with cancer in NM, a working ranch. He's earned the hat (and the gun he carries in his waist back holster) - and owns up to his coke-snorting hard-drinking error-filled ways. I like him

#12 IMUS: Those are pretty good names. Madeleine Albright is a huge mistake. I mean, come on.

KERRY: No, she gives advice. She gives good advice. And I think she gives good advice, frankly. And she has a very, very strong sense of that region and of other regions and would have made much smarter decisions than this group has.

Haaahahahaaahahahahahaaahahahahahaahaaaaaaaa.......

#13 You got that right, Johnny boy. Tell her I said hi.

#14 ..has the Imus Ranch for kids with cancer in NM, a working ranch.

Three years ago, I went from Los Angeles to Chicago on the Southwest Chief, and I believe the route through NM between Lamy and Las Vegas passes somewhere near that ranch....the conductor may have mentioned that little bit of minutia, but I can't quite remember..
