Maybe Harvard won't take him back, or will shove him into a place where he has to teach future pols how not to do it. I have a special place in my memory bank for men like him, in the lowest circle of Dante. Too intemperate possibly, but male chauvinist pigs deserve it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636727394832760278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687347459208158501.post-75821064408829942792010-09-22T14:01:51.238-04:002010-09-22T14:01:51.238-04:00Right.
