    rphillps111 thanks for the laugh

    "But I'll bet not the lot of you can "field dress" a moose, raise five kids, and govern the largest state in the union. And give a great speech with a malfunctioning teleprompter."

    That sounded like it came right out of the mouth of a Republican press flunky--not many comedians have that kind of ear, not even on cable. I was trying to imagine myself in a situation where I would have to continue a speech I didn't write on a malfunctioning teleprompter, and then going out to the back lot behind to field dress a moose like one of "us". That's the kind of thing I do every day! Again, thanks for the laugh.
