Your ref. to my repeated calls for sarcasm seem to result from your frustration with not being able to trip me up as often as you wish whether it be about Ted Sorenson or AGW.

There is no need whatsoever for me to try to "trip you up." You do a wonderful job all by your lonesome.

As I said making a statement about JJ & Carter is more valuable because they have credibility here but most mainstream places they don't. But that isn't good enough for your consideration since it goes ag ainst your views.

My conclusion that the Judge/Carter story does not pass the deep politics stink test is based not on the degree to which it may conflict with any of my own "stories," but rather on its own merits -- or lack thereof. John Judge, regardless of his credibility, is a flawed human being just like the rest of us. At times his judgment is faulty. I submit that this is one of those times -- unless, of course, you have not accurately presented his point of view here.

I honor John and his work. The latter is not holy writ.

My initial response was directed to Peter. You immediately jump in & jump to a conclusion you think I have already made.

I'll "immediately jump in" whenever I conclude that someone on this forum is peddling nonsense. Which in all likelihood means that you'll be keeping me busy.

And BTW my impression of the some time I spent with GME 10 yrs. ago in Mpls. was an impression of a patient scholar that had just blown me away with his presentation. Your attitude doesn't seem to come across that way at all which is bit disappointing considering his connection to you.

Thank you for the kind characterization of my dear, dear friend and mentor. I can never hope to approach the levels of patience he routinely exhibited for well-meaning if under-informed students of deep politics.

That being noted, George Michael did not suffer fools.
