    Paul in KY

    Ha, Ha

    liked the way Barry used 'balanced' in his comments on the NBC memo he reviewed.

    That was quite funny. Whatever else one might want to say about that statement -- persuasive, moving, scathing, riveting -- the one thing it absolutely was not was "balanced." It was the opposite of that.

    When someone is in "please-don't-turn-on-me" mode -- as McCaffrey obviously is -- I guess there are no compliments too transparently unwarranted to gush up.
