While you're approaching 3200 posts (not including your drivel on Infirm) and the highlight of your posting career is riding the coattails of other, more memorable posters by acting as if you're their lawyer.

I can only hope I live up to your high standards.

Refresh my recollection, you're a longtime lurker, infrequent poster who is not a penske sock, no? OBE?

If it makes you feel better, I would never use the term "high standards" with you.

Ooooooh, shnap! You caved his fuckin' head in with that one.

PS: He graduated at the bottom of his law school class and has bad teeth. Hit him with that next.

Wait a minute. I thought F&E was Penske.

Doesn't all this come down to aggregate versus entity theories of 527s and whether limits are in place?

Are you a tax geek?

No, more a corporate history geek.

McCain's insistance on campaign finance is when I first realize he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. I think, though I'm not sure (and you would know better than I) that his heart is in the right place, but maybe I'm just being naieve and it was an ego thing for him.

Just as Kate Moss is now "going to rehab" to rehabilitate her career, please recall that McCain only becames this staunch reformer after he gets busted as a member of the Keating Five.

She looked fucking hot in those photos. Killer legs. What a naughty twist. I don't think I could handle her.

Full disclosure is fine by me.

I respect McCain, and his heart is in the right place, I think he is just trying to fix an unfixable problem. And then by trying to fix it he is making it worse. The nastiness he is faced with everyday is the bills that are below the radar screen and the corporate interests that donate soft money pretty much writing the bills. However, when the public is not paying attention there is not much you can do to prevent this sort of problem.

You obviously didn't like the 527s. I'm fine with full disclosure, but I'm not sure it's essential for causes other than direct contributions to candidates (to ward against a quid pro quo). But for issues, I think the position is what counts, regardless of the speaker.

Actually I don't mind 527s because they can't donate directly to campaign (I run a 527 and two PACS - state and federal) It is the people that donate directly to campaigns that I want exposed to the full light of day.

Just had them fixed, in fact.

Mos[t] people on here don't understand half of what you say, considering you typically speak out of both sides of your mouth as well as your ass.

Actually, I'm one of the least cryptic posters on this place, and I'm not smart enough to confuse people with dissertations on tax law, benefits, antitrust, or 18th Century jurisprudence, so you must have me confused with someone else.

That might explain the level of hostility.

That said, you accused me of "hiding" behind a sock. Perhaps I misssed it, but is secret agent man your real name? Either you think I'm some other poster or you're holding the idiotic and hypocritical view that I should be posting under my real name. Which is it?

So, you DID understand my post. It was the former, of course.

To review --

You seemed to have posted only 15 times since September, 2004 -- a very small number -- and your first post on Earle sounded like something someone else might have said -- so I reasonably assumed you were a rarely-used secondary sock.

I couldn't see why anyone would bother to pull another ID out of the closet to say something so innocuous, so I asked why. You responded with a post that I now see represents your highest level of witty repartee.

You present an unappealing combination of ignorance and arrogance.
