I love this. He must be the first guy happy to have his name there!

Larry Summers complaining to Epstein that his kids admire Bernie Sanders too much

9. Voted against the War in Iraq while "others" didn't

[Jack Valentino]

19. As did Senator Ted Kennedy!!!! (voted against the war in Iraq, BOTH as I recall!)

I have really missed Ted since his death in 2009---
and as a romantic youth, I worked my ASS off for him in 1980--

(although I believe that Carter was DOOMED that year, even without the primary challenge---
I did take it as a 'lesson' to argue against any Democratic primary challenges against President Joe Biden---
whom I believe was the most progressive President since FDR---
the idea that a primary challenge against an incumbent president is bad electoral politics,
and has historically led to that President's general election defeat
is not lost on me---- but I think Carter would have lost anyway,
without any such challenges--- the headwinds against him were too great---
but in retrospect he seems to have been a pretty good POTUS---
ESPECIALLY against what we are faced with NOW!)



I am sure that Ted would have had MUCH to say about Diaper Don---
and WITHOUT 'pulling' any punches!!!!!!

I very much appreciated his opposition against Bush Jr's IRAQ war....

20. We can learn too much from history

Not every primary challenger is a Kennedy. Not every Progressive candidate is George McGovern. Each election has it's unique factors and reflects a different time.

i'm generally for democracy, and that includes within the Democratic primary system. A solid candidate that can win in the general should be able to survive a primary challenge. A healthy party should be able to regroup after a primary, unite, and win--stronger that they allowed democracy to play out and sure they have a candidate the people have chosen.

(No criticism intended here of Ted or McGovern.)

6. Jon Stewart is in there.

His name came up in a discussion of possible late night hosts that would have Chump.
Well. there is Jon Stewart among others where he could appear...
Busted. That's why there are millions of files.
Just a reference in any context and you will be famous, (more?)

In this case, it's not an honor to be recognized, right Andy?
