Some day I can tell you "war stories" about when I worked House Democratic leaders beginning
with  Tip and some mornings Tip would tell us how "Millie  and I had a great time at dinner with
Ron and Nancy watching old movies and talking politics".....and we  would  all ask him to make
sure Tip hadn't  given  anything away :).  Similarly at times with Ted Kennedy and Rosty.  Though
if BC or HRC want to criticize Giuliani without mentioning Reagan, while  I think its right  and
good politics, it's not essential to make the big point about leaders who want a country where
opponents don't attack presidents for not loving America.....a critique of  Rudy about this is
not only right but  appeals to both our base and  independents tired of slime politics....
