    I don't recall saying that's ok with me

    Does it matter if its ok with me in the context of what we're discussing?

    If you're asking me if I'm happy about a man who chose to defend Chiqita being our AG, I'd say I'm as happy about that as I was Alberto Gonazalez's tenure in the position. If you know someone who defended child molesters, rich or poor, who's up for the job, let me know who they are, and I'll let you know what I think. I certainly don't have any power to pass laws about it.

    I also don't think its nice to call people idiots when you're discussing with them. However, that's just my opinion, and I have no power to prevent it, nor would I prevent it if I did.
