Tom Cruise (wacko, but works hard, pretty cute too)
Freaking Scientology idiot.

Might have meant Tom Kruse, developer of the Hoveround.

Think the taxpayer buys a lot of these via Medicare.
Like I was telling Froggy, the gov provides a lot of funds for sharp
entrepreneurs. Even with Obama in there.
With his skills, maybe a souped up Hoveround that also monitors the
colon using high-tech?
Could work.

But, I kinda liked Nixon. Read Nixon Off the Record, by Monica Crowley.
Great book.

Nixon was the first prez I voted for. Twice.
Well, it was in Chicago, but I mean both times he ran.
Cloth coat Republican. No Rep anywhere as smart as him around.

Well... ok. When Nixon died, a friend said we should have 18 1/2 minutes of

The best Nixon line I ever saw was on a bumper sticker in DC

"Impeach the Cox Sacker"

I didn't necessarily agree but it was funny

My uncle told me about getting mugged and viewing a police line-up in
Terre Haute, Indiana.
Still remember what happened.
The cop had each guy step forward, and give name and occupation.
First guy was Mort Wilson, said he was a cork soaker at Acme Cork.
Second was Bill Chambliss, worked as a coke sacker for Coca-Cola.
Third was Jim Pierce, occupation sock tucker for Billingsley Socks.
My uncle could hardly hold back his laughter, and lost it when the
fourth guy minced forward and said.
"Hi! My name is Bruce. AND I'M THE REAL THING!"

You don't like Pat Buchanan? Shocking. lol

Hard for a fan of Friedman's globalism to also be a fan of Pat's
anti-globalism.

But I'm a fan of Friendman. Lovely man. I heard him speak once. I always
liked Pat, even though he was a wacko.

Nixon told his biographer... "Monica, I'd like to introduce you to Pat. He's
even more conservative than you are."

The best one I saw was "Nixon's father should have pulled out." It was on an
old beat up VW bus.

I *liked* Dick Nixon, especially in hindsight. He was smarter than all the
GOP presidents who followed him (with the exception of G. H.W. Bush), and
he had balls, too. Imagine another GOP president instituting wage-price
controls. Further in retirement, he worked hard to redeem himself and his
reputation by being a statesman. Interesting that the only U.S. presidents
who didn't do that after their terms were Reagan and George W. Bush.

Strangely, I liked Bob Dole. I watched some of the Clinton/Dole "debates" on
a TV program (60 minutes?). He was smart too.

Patrick Fitzgerald (US attorney, one of the good guys)

You got to be kidding.
The man who's trying to railroad Blago?
Remember how the FBI and the press just about had Richard Jewel
convicted for the Atlanta Olympics bombing?
I predict that Blago will also be revealed as a falsely accused hero.
Could be wrong though.

You must be from Chicago! Poor Rod. And, his wife has quite a mouth on her.

Yeah, Dole was smart, sharp, and formidable in the Senate. I can't
imagine him hanging out with the current trash leaders of the GOP.

Many things to his credit aside from chosing Elizabeast as his wife.
