Now the question is whether you had to look it up like I did, or if you knew that.

Re: The Rankest Thread Imaginable
Andy, rest assured that, among the many things I've committed to memory, an ordered list of Nixon's enemies is not among them, nor ever likely to be. However, I will remember who #17 is from now on

Re: The Rankest Thread Imaginable
I will admit that I stole this idea from Paul Newman's Playbill bio from his 2002 Broadway performance in "Our Town" (the funniest bio I've ever read, though I can only recall a couple of lines.) Among other accomplishments, he notes that he was #19 on Nixon's enemies list. I simply altered the number in search of a more obscure schorr.
Re: The Rankest Thread Imaginable
I used to work (well, volunteer) for Al Lowenstein, who was #7. I'm kinda proud of that.skepper wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2017 11:18 pmI will admit that I stole this idea from Paul Newman's Playbill bio from his 2002 Broadway performance in "Our Town" (the funniest bio I've ever read, though I can only recall a couple of lines.)

Re: The Rankest Thread Imaginable
Nixon's enemies list is a good template for "people Woof admires." I'll have to examine Colson's "master list" and see if that still holds.

Re: The Rankest Thread Imaginable
I guess it's been more than a week (I wasn't sure what the grace period was but I just looked) ... can I have mine changed to "Jeopardy! Champion"?

Hah! Nope, love it ain't. I still respect his legislative accomplishments, but that's now part of a stew of emotions that includes disappointment and moral outrage.

Maybe That Guy Who Said "Yay!" puts a more appropriately positive spin on it.
