I would rather have a cigar at a bar with George W. Bush than with Tom Daschle. Bill Clinton would be more fun for a drink and cigar than Tom Dulay. It isn't that I don't like pols named Tom, either. Most of us have friends we don't agree with politically. How can you explain Oren Hatch and Ted Kennedy, who are best friends? Mary Matalin and her husband, Snakehead? Most politicians bore or disgust me, but I always liked listening to both Daniel Patrick Moynahan and Newt Gingrich. They couldn't be much farther apart politically, but both always have something intelligent and interesting to say, and they both have style, JMO. Who do you like that you shouldn't, given your political bent?
