Reply #5: So I e-mailed him a copy of the o.p., and his reply was: Glad he STIRRED me!1 Ewww!1

On the local radio wingnut talkshow (the only place that will interview him), he bragged about being syndicated to (200? 400?) newspapers and being featured on the CNN website. Nobody reads his CRAP, no matter where it is. So here he lists his "impressive" resume as his sig line. He also sneered at those who went to State/public universities, forgetting that he got to Harvard through AA.

Our DUer Maestro has said he engaged in debate with NAVARRETTE and fellow wingnut Linda CHAVEZ back during school days and those wingnuts were genuine a-holes (my perjorative, not the gracious Maestro's).

So, the lower case affectation has nothing, I'm sure, to do with e.e. cummings. He doesn't dispute anything in my thumbnail.
