Actually, that was him trolling for (more) freebies. They had given him some
trousers as a gift, and he wanted more of them. He was pretty good at getting
"gifts" from people and businesses.
Did you know that he graduated from a rural teacher's college and taught
migrant workers kids when he g
Search out the audio of him calling his tailor to get some new trousers

Goodness! we can't speak of long ago politics? That sort of screws the whole
topic of history, since Wilton was bombing Viet Cong, which may trouble some,

I didn't find it mean or hateful, just lacking respect, flippant and/or
humorous.

Mr Moderator,
I want to ask you & other listers if this type of mean, hateful comment is
now OK on the list? And for the record my question has nothing to do with
politics- just respect.
