...long suspension. I tried to guess where they would come up again. I waited. I guessed wrong, as I always do. After a moment or two, they popped up in an opposite, unexpected quarter. The loon is a deadpan wit. We repeated the game three times. At last, they tired of me, and vanished.

...soul and, très un-Liebermanically, his ass, on "NYPD Blue." Oh, and Smits was preceded at the mike by Robert Rubin, arguably the single member of the Clinton administration most identified with the economic prosperity that the Democrats are relying on to win Gore-Lieberman the election. Guess which one got the hearty welcome? That's right, while the distracted delegates seized Rubin's few minutes as a chance to check out the plumbing at the Staples Center, the crowd went bananas over the political wisdom...
