"He is a, he is a political figure who is capable of thinking over the horizon, he's a long term thinker. I have found him to be a man who's kept his word, which sometimes is rare in the political circles I run in.

15. why don't the two of them just step down in unison....

What is a long term thinker, or a political figure thinking over the horizon?

[JohnyCanuck]

16. Maybe after he is out of the limelight,

Tony The Poodle can slip into DC on the sly to pick up that medal Congress awarded him for being a gullible fool and supporting The Dick and The Kid in their bogus and illegitimate war on Iraq. I understand he's been just too embarrassed to date to be seen by the world receiving his reward for spineless toadyism. I don't know why he couldn't just ask them to Fed Ex the medal to him at #10 Downing Street.
