"Through the years, Comb has been a class act. I don't know why he wants to get down and dirty replacing Ted." Not sure I would agree with the "class act".....but I do wonder the same thing. He has deteriorated. I seldom agreed with him but he used to at least make an effort at arguing his point. Now, he doesn't even try. I think most of them have. Why? I would guess because the arguments have just become so far out there that there is simply NO CASE to be made. The current racism argument being a perfect example. You cannot make the case that there is significant racism involved in the disgust for Obama's policy. It just isn't there. I will say, however, that after six or eight years of servicing a particular account -- a clinic owned by a black doctor, we were fired a month after I engaged in a political disagreement about Obama -- in spite of the fact we've done an excellent job in every respect for this doctor, and in spite of the fact that he has referred no fewer than ten other docs to us. Is THAT racism? (My dad, when we were growing up, refused to allow us as kids to put political bumper stickers on our cars. I remember asking why, and he said, "I'm in business, and if I allow you to do that, I'm going to piss off half my customers who see the car sitting in the parking lot. He was, of course, right).
