    Show of hands: who else here is totally surprised by BHL's self-aggrandizing opener?

    “I would begin by reminding him of the first thing he said to me at our meeting four years ago in Boston..."

    Thank God we have this tired pop-philo hack to guide Obama through the darkness :)

    Which just goes to show that BHL has no clue about whatever (for better or worse) motivates the American voter.

    BHL says absolutely nothing qnd manages to trumpet his celebrity citing in such a thin text. Might I ask you why you are linking to this?

    I'm linking because of the image that illustrates the story. That's what's awesome. Duh.

    Meg

    I for one am glad you linked. I like to make fun of BHL as often as possible.

    I've not read any of his books, though, so I can't say from experience whether or not this is advisable.
