Burns on Iraq: "I've got a plan, Prsident Bush has a plan...I'm not telling you!!!! You think I'm gonna tell you??
You'd go and screw it up!!"

Tester was awesome.

1. Didn't Nixon have a "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War?
And didn't said secret plan involve dragging the abomination out another four years and into another country?

I'm sure this plan would top that one.

5. Agnew when pressed about Vietnam on the campaign trail
blurted out they had a plan. When pressed further, he said the plan was secret.

Back at Nixon campaign headquarters, they panicked at first, then realized since the non-existing plan was said to be "secret," they could just say they couldn't talk about it.

Nixon's secret plan never existed.

4. Sorry I missed it. Hope someone puts it up.
I watched the other two.

Actually I am pushing Tester for President in 2008. A smart, plain talkin' farmer with a crew cut - can't miss. I am a really big fan.

I had the privilege of speaking with him way back during the primary and at a time when he was not expected to win. I called his campaign office to ask a question about his position on an issue and the staffer handed the phone to him. I was absolutely stunned. We had a great conversation about farming, music, education, health care. He is definitely not just an empty suit, or should I say not just an empty pair of Levis.
