My Apologies, Conrad...

but I am a little preoccupied here in Washington. I am both sorry and impressed that you noticed I just swoop in for the press conferences and to fluff my lines.

But not so impressed by the part where he says you don't know anything about his case, eh?

Neither are we. I doubt that you would let it get as far as it has without making sure you have strong evidence.

I didn't get to hear your press conference. Who's Conrad and why are you apologizing?

Conrad Black is the defendant in one of the Chi-town cases, Jackie.
He's a right wing media mogul up for racketeering, among other charges.

Thanks for asking Jackie, I fixed the link.

Are you watching the Olympics too? Scenes like the two Koreas marching together are warming on a cold night - snowstorm heading this way! :)

Have a great weekend!

Fitz,

You have to help Jackie! I was laughing at her comments. Do you want hire to her to fix your blog? Jackie is so funny. You and Jackie are too much for me. Regarding Conrad Black, let him sweat. The more that Conrad waits the more he will get worried! The man has no funds. Maybe he should call Irve "Scooter" Libby (Yes, the "I" stands for Irve. What a retarded first name) to borrow the 2 million from the fundraiser that was given for Libby by his friends!

Conrad Black got involved with the wrong crowd, just like all them 'blokes from what I can tell.....

Given that his crowd includes the likes of Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle I'm not the least surprised!!!! :)

He's just another added on trump card to the firewall....lets send Rove packin' with Luskin and then have Black sing on Perle and his swans.....

If you say someone "fluffs" a line, you are stuck somewhere in the middle of the last century. Conrad is sixty-three, and that is also the copyright date for my dictionary which defines, secondarily, "fluff" as a verb meaning to make a mistake delivering one's lines. Or maybe Conrad conflated "flub" and "muff," the more current slang terms for making a mistake. (e.g. Bush flubbed Iraq. Bush muffed Katrina.) Generally these days one "blows" lines and "fluffs" pillows. Unless one IS a fluffer; a job in an industry which, unlike media, is at least honest about its essential nature and primary intent.
(e.g. Karl Rove fluffed Bush before the SOTU speech.)

Sorry Fitz I fell a sleep my eyes just started to close and then the news was on. I heard the weather report back east wear your scarf,hat and gloves. You remembered that Peaches was stationed in South Korea I talked alot to her host family I still keep in touch they were nice to her. I was happy that North/South Koreas could join as one its clear anything can happen with forgiveness and love.
