And if you want to go back to 88 there are some heart warming stories about his grandfather coming up from working in the coal mines to play football with his mates ... when you channel Kinnock it is sometimes hard to know when to stop.
I'm not holding my breath for a VP as smart as I (or Tamar) Had a President who may have qualified but I'd like to think my taste in women is better and my old demons more under control.
>>>I don't want a Vice President who's like me. I want one who's smarter."

If you want to know where Al Qaeda lives, you want to know where (Usama) bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down with a three-star general and three senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are,"
