Tuesday
Wow, am I tired. I just got back from my very busy working trip and here I am back in L.A. heading over to CNN to be on Larry King Live. The show is about the primaries. The other guests are Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for GWB, Alicia Menendez, a very pretty young woman in D.C. from some leftist think tank, and my old pal Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Congresswoman from the Democrats, a tough, aggressive fellow Semite from Florida. She is really, really tough. Really. No, not really at all. I like her a lot.
I wish I had her balls.
Anyway, we talked about the elections and it was all fine until Ms. Wasserman made an amazingly dishonest comment about how every GOP Member of the House wanted to privatize Social Security. "Wait a minute," I said, "you just made that up. It's not true at all."
"No," she insisted, "it's true," and she named one or two Congressmen who supposedly believed that.
"No," I said, "you just made it up. You have no sources at all. Tell me your source."
(I am paraphrasing here.)
She was angry at me but I was not scared. I had a Jewish mother one billion times more scary than Debbie and I went on to a good life.
