> Do you have a link to that thread? **Bricker** may be right-wing, but I have no doubts about his ‘intellect.’ Every once in a while his preoccupation with tangential matters make me wonder if he’s just arguing as an exercise or because he really holds the opposing view, but he’s smart and actually communicates with other posters - not across them.

Sorry for hijacking this thread. I’ve “bumped” the BBQ Pit thread about Karl Rove so you can find it easily.

I’m over-reacting; Bricker did offer a sort-of apology in the earlier thread. But five weeks have passed and I still “saw red” when I saw Bricker’s name here, so I expressed myself. :eek:
