Reminded me of the most recent Ally Bank commercial with the guy standing behind a talking doll, claiming the doll was in charge. Couldn't find it on utube, but it's the most recent one in this series. youtube.com ARS

Interesting Little Joe….Many of the Left seem to be getting that email again….it's been around for years….Reese has been a conservative, but now is a Democrat (his words) Found this about Charlie Reese from wiki: >>>>>>>>An article written by Reese for the Orlando Sentinel newspaper on March 7, 1985 under the title Looking For Someone To Blame? Congress Is Good Place To Start was widely read and distributed in modified form via e-mail during 2008 United States presidential campaign under the title The 545 People Responsible for America's Woes.[10] The article commonly forwarded in 2008 was slightly modified from the 1980s version, substituting Pelosi for Tip O'Neil and adding a reference to Iraq. It is not clear if the modifications were made by Reese, as the e-mail claimed. Quote from the original 1985 article: "One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices — 545 human beings out of the 235 million — are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country." [11][12] He wrote a similar article in 1983, listing 546 people, including the Vice President in that version.[13] At the end of each calendar year, Reese wrote his annual "conflict of interest" column, in which he disclosed his sources of income, his political affiliation and the organizations of which he was a dues paying member. He would also state his basic political philosophy and other core beliefs in addition to purpose of his columns.[14][15] He stated that readers should have an idea where a columnist is coming from and where any potential conflicts of interest could arise, but to his knowledge he was the only columnist that carried out this practice.[citation needed] == Retirement == On August 30, 2008, Reese wrote his final column, citing health reasons for his retirement.<<<<<<<< en.wikipedia.org
