Jones,   A pleasant way to spend a few minutes.. reading a neat Jones' post.   Ah! Washington.. where it is not nearly as important to win.. as it is.. to make sure the other guy loses.   Back when I was a kid and impressionable, used to listen to an old ex-convict tell stories about prison life. Seens the heirarchy in prison placed the " con men" at the top of society because they were so smart and told of ingenious tricks to separate people from their money. Interesting remark he made.. they don't do it for the money.. they do it because of the vicarious thrill of "cheating a sucker". The usual reason they get caught is from " bragging" about their exploits.   A little insight to the true mechanicians of politics. Rumsfield, Cheney and Bush are first , last and always " career bureaucrats" masquerading as politicians. The absolute worst combination for leadership.   Richard
