...moment does not make a lifetime, or even a career--a fact of which I'm sure even the most laid-back Harvardian is aware. I doubt I'll ever get to say, "See that Golden Gloves Champion'that's my roommate!" I also doubt that I'll ever go to Metropolitan to see my other friend dance.

Still, Bush's electoral analysis is right on - that's why he also took a moment to flog Donald Trump for the Reform nod, and bash Buchanan's "revisionist history about WWII" for good measure. What, no words for Warren Beatty? The actor pulled a pretty good Hillary in Hollywood on Wednesday night, talking loud - "Is there no protest anymore?" - but staying mum about his own intentions...
