You know to some this is funny but to me it is twaddle.

Oh, I know he was trying to be funny, but it isn't. Inane, moronic, etc,
yes. However, it lacks all the essential elements of humor. It isn't even
a good roast.

Its just twaddle. That it made it to the pages of the NYTimes tells you a
lot about the paper. But then others, recently, have said it already.

You're calling Lew all kinds of things. I did look up twaddle in an
online dictionary (several in fact) and I didn't see a picture of Lew or
anyone else. Lew may have different political opinions than you, but
then you started the namecalling, twit.

OK, I'll apologize. Sometimes I go and do look back, but a year? With
people who post as much? I'll take your word for it, Gordon, whether or
not I'd agree with Lew. Yes, that is a pretty lame apology, I know.
Because I often agree with Lew, whether or not I specifically say so (not
always, but often - hey I even sometimes disagree with Karl!).

If you look it up in the dictionary all you will find is a picture of
Lew. BTW, you'll also find his picture in the dictionary under
racist, loon, bigot and many other similar adjectives.

Twit? Hardly. I'm shocked that you would stoop to name calling. I
was merely stating facts based on Lew's history of posts, that's all.

I'd say, in the twaddle of one world famous twit, "it depends on your
definition of" argumentative!

Personally, I'm amused by one guy calling another a twit, whilst
admonishing the other for name calling... Pretty good stuff.

Take a look back, maybe a year or so, when Lew was calling everyone
who disagreed with him a "pathetic bigot" and you will see who started
the name calling. You may apologize if you wish, but I doubt that is
part of your character.
