Moi? What does this have to do with me? You got it all wrong, Herr Rot.

Mr roT said...

Oh, Tecs, I remember all too well your taking the NRO party line that Mitty was a good guy and as governor he had never pissed you off, yadda yadda yadda, but now, them chickens is comin home to roost!

He's all yours, Tecs, with fines for 'Murkins and coupons for furriners and commies.

Just like you likes it.

Your memory is getting hazy, Signore Rota. Try some Brunello di Montepulciano to clear up the neurons.

I tried to buy one here, but anything half-decent was 2 or 3 times as much as a good St Emilion, so I went for the Frenchie booze.

When in Rome, do like the Romans, they say. (An old Romanian proverb, actually.)

You sayin' somethin' about Mitt? Aww, forgetaboutit.

Mr roT said...

Gettin a bit defensive about your boy, eh? Drink deep of the glass of forgetfulness, Tecs.

It will help you a lot when pay-up gets reckoned.

Tecumseh said...

My boy? Hey, you're talking early 2008. Now it's late 2010. An eternity in politics. Things change, ya know. Just ask Sir Isaac for the definition of the derivative. He'll draw a CD for you, and set you straight.

Mr roT said...

You think Newton could explain to you that Romneycare (=Obamacare) came before that?

Just asking.

Tecumseh said...

You think of time flowing linearly. That's a simplistic, archaically Newtonian view, Herr Rot. Try something more sophisticated, willya?

Mr roT said...

I guess you mean this.

Tecumseh said...

That's sophisticated? Hah!

Mr roT said...

Check the etymology of "sophisticated" Tecs.

Then pay up.

Tecumseh said...

You mean, it's something to do with sophistry? Hmmm...

Mr roT said...

Genau.

Pay up.
