Posted by: Score Bard on Aug. 10, 2005who is george steinbrenner. dang
Posted by: mike hertz on Aug. 10, 2005moe specific, Casca?
Posted by: annika T. on Aug. 10, 2005OK, Casca can be a pain in the ass, but if the answer is Hon. Donald Rumsfeld, SecDef, you best be giving him the bucks, 'cause everyone knows his nickname in D.C. is "Rummy".
But, if allowed a second guess, I might say:
BZZZZ Who is Don Imus?

Score Bard:
There are two Boltons.
One is the Ambassador, John, but the other is his brother, Josh, who is the Director of OMB, a sub-Cabinet appointment.
Both are long time government wonks.
Posted by: shelly on Aug. 10, 2005As everyone in the Western world knows, I was referring to the man who has TWICE been SecDef, Donald Rumsfeld.
How churlish of you to grill me.
Posted by: Casca on Aug. 10, 2005Don Imus? Annika wouldn't let Imus washboard the skidmarks from her skivvies after the Sacramento Chili Festival let alone have a beer with him.
Posted by: Casca on Aug. 10, 2005Being Poetry Day, I think Casca meant Rumi but my goggles might be a little foggy.
Posted by: d-rod on Aug. 10, 2005might as well take the garbage shot and get on the board. Bzzz. Who is Donald Rumsfeld.

Who is Sen. Rick Santorum?
I finally have a chance to jump in (I think!)
.
Since I'm late to the party again.
BZZZZ
Who is Bono?
Buehler? Buehler? Anyone?
Posted by: Casca on Aug. 11, 2005Kevin, do you mean Micheal Bolton the no-talent ass-clown became famous and started winning Grammys or the dude from Office Space?
Posted by: Victor on Aug. 11, 2005That's what I get for being late to the party. Ralphyboy already took one garbage shot, I might as well take one too.
Ding.
Who is John Bolton?
Imus is scary.
Casca is correct and has control.
i had to make sure, since "Rummy" could also refer to Mr. Gower. As in "That Rummy did twenty years in jail for poisoning a kid. If you know him you must be a jailboid yourself!"
Christus Victor,
I was thinking of the love spawn of Yanni and Kenny G. If I'm not mistaken, this same Michael Bolton is a lightning rod for criticism and is considered hard to work for. He may also be the same dude who took a break from recording bad music to declare North Korea a "hellhole," which did not earn him plaudits from Kim Jong Il's administration.
It's possible I'm confusing Michael Bolton with John Bolton, the mustachioed nominee for UN ambassador who is a lightning rod for criticism, is considered hard to work for, and who cranks out "lite jazz" for horny white people.
Wait a minute... maybe I've confused them both with Tony Danza, the dude who starred in that old series, "Hoosier Daddy?"
Kevin
Damn; I hate it when I defend someone and it beats me. Oh, well, Casca, you owe me one.
Lighten up.
Posted by: shelly on Aug. 11, 2005Thank you, Kevin. Not for clearing that up, but for making me laugh my face off.
Posted by: Victor on Aug. 11, 2005Make it Profanity for four.
Posted by: Casca on Aug. 11, 2005Annie- if you've worked for him long enough, you'd probably reconsider the beer part..
