I love this. He must be the first guy happy to have his name there!
Larry Summers complaining to Epstein that his kids admire Bernie Sanders too much

(4,617 posts)I have really missed Ted since his death in 2009---
and as a romantic youth, I worked my ASS off for him in 1980--
(although I believe that Carter was DOOMED that year, even without the primary challenge---
I did take it as a 'lesson' to argue against any Democratic primary challenges against President Joe Biden---
whom I believe was the most progressive President since FDR---
the idea that a primary challenge against an incumbent president is bad electoral politics,
and has historically led to that President's general election defeat
is not lost on me---- but I think Carter would have lost anyway,
without any such challenges--- the headwinds against him were too great---
but in retrospect he seems to have been a pretty good POTUS---
ESPECIALLY against what we are faced with NOW!)
I am sure that Ted would have had MUCH to say about Diaper Don---
and WITHOUT 'pulling' any punches!!!!!!
I very much appreciated his opposition against Bush Jr's IRAQ war....

Well. there is Jon Stewart among others where he could appear...
Busted. That's why there are millions of files.
Just a reference in any context and you will be famous, (more?)
In this case, it's not an honor to be recognized, right Andy?
