I know that's the type of attorney I would hire. A attorney who runs his mouth without having te facts. What could go wrong?

They're both egomaniacs who love publicity, who love bullying, and who can lie repeatedly and without breaking a sweat. The problem is that they both will want to run the show, and neither would hesitate to throw the other under the first passing bus in order to protect themselves. It's gonna get ugly.

I just read a comment to the effect that the Don & Rudy Show will like a movie featuring two elderly bank robbers who decide to get together to pull off one last big heist, and of course it all goes terribly wrong.

Facts are facts, no need to get them "straight". Now, you might want to figure how to present them. You might want to double-check precision or sources. But straight? Nah, facts are facts.

It shouldn't be necessary but what you do want to get straight are your "stories". Whether they be folk tales, jokes, yarns, inconsistencies, white lies, prevarications, falsehoods or as we've been seeing, bald-faced doozies, those are what you want to get straight. That is a concept that the "well-oiled machinery" of the stable genius' doesn't quite get.

"More oil, Mr. President"?
