From the "I am what I am" respect-for-honesty department:
(notice what these names have in common) David Boren, Sam Nunn, Moynahan, Tip O'neil.
- You wanted to punch their lights out sometimes, but you could at least respect them. I'll even consider including Wellstone and Phil Donahue just because they're man-enough not to lie about their liberalness....well, there was that dress thing. ok, maybe not.
Barbara Bush.
Juan Williams, Colmes.
James Garner. (how disappointed was I when I learned).
Brad Pitt. (Hilarious in Twelve Monkeys).
Bono?...nope, gotta get a second name first. sharp guy though.
I hate to be a name dropper again (not really) but I met his cousin, humorist Jim Boren. A nice enough guy but his wife was really annoying. I chronicled this incident in my "I Was A Commie Writer" article.
