Another story about the hero in your midst...

*******************************************
As far as your other complaints, well, almost every president in
my memory and I *remember* Truman, Eisenhower (who cheated on his
wife), Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush, lied and
participated in deceit to one degree or another, and on issues far more
important than who was giving them blow jobs. Good lord. I met
*every* president in the damned group except Bush, and I worked once
for his father.
******************************************

He met all those presidents *and* the Dalai Lama! Who is this fabled
individual?

The Shadow knows!


Actually, I misspoke. I never met Eisenhower. And by "meet," I only
meant "met," not socialize, although I did have breakfast at the Hotel
Muehlebach in Kansas City with Harry S Truman and Lyndon Johnson in the
hotel coffee shop. I met Truman at least a half dozen times, because for
a year, I was the KC stringer for a national news magazine, and at least
every other month, I was assigned to head out to Independence to see
President Truman and solicit his opinion on something. He rarely had an
opinion he wanted printed, but even a no comment was worth $50 to me.

I met Nixon in 1960 at a GOP function in Connecticut my mother took me
to, and I met Gerry Ford when he was a Congressman representing the
Grand Rapids, MI, area. Got to shake hands with Carter at a Democratic
Party function in DC when he was president, and I saw Reagan speak two
or three times in DC when he was president. At one of those functions,
there was an opportunity to shake his hand and say hello, and I did.

Herring, on the other hand, has met Bert Robbins, probably at a "Alums
of the Short Bus Riders Society."

Wasn't Kennedy screwing any woman he could get his hands on? And,
Johnson wasn't he screwing Kennedy's left overs?
