    ~

    You ever feel like you want to punch, or kick a donkey, or a mule in thee red nose?

    NBC's-heaped "sycophantic" praise flattery in defense of retired General McCafferty?

    ... a "ethics and courage" and a nice guy? O, so is the law-pal lawyer Jan C. Scruggs?

    I don't ever want to mention a Jan Scruggs/McCafferty scandal:`Vietnam Memorial Fund.

    Jan Scruggs was the lawyer:`The Founder, and the Fund Raiser, of the Veteran Memorial.

    Funds got lost? Millions? Missing? Who investigated? Grunts say:`O Polyester Undies pal?

    One day I spoke with McCafferty. He ignored me. No shake greasy paws. O, I remember it.

    Former PA's Gov., and a HomeLand Security Secretary, speak on Memorial's Remembrances.

    Tom Ridge received, post-9-11 a 'brief packet'. Deliver by hand to Mr. commander-in-chief? Remember? Thank you very much, Tom Ridge. Cool Law Office you have in a Commonwealth.

    President Bush was busy. He was at The Tomb at Arlington. The Sad Ceremonial Laying of the Wreath at the UNknown Soldier is a solemn moment. okay. No shake the greasy politico paws.
