(I finally got to meet that "Iraq vet that runs a nonprofit" in person last weekend in Chicago and I have to say, that if I were Tom Reynolds, I'd be calling for all hands on deck as well. Jon Powers is the real deal and Reynolds is wise to be concerned. - promoted by phillip anderson)
This will be a very short diary, but this is too telling/funny to just post in a comment somewhere.
So, about 2 weeks ago I took the New York Bar Exam (gross, I know). While I was waiting on line to get in on the second day, I ran into a high school classmate of mine. He is a Republican, but he is still a nice guy so we chatted while waiting to get in.
I asked him what he is doing these days and he told me that he was working for Tom Reynolds before temporarily quitting to study for the bar. I asked him what he was going to do next, and he said he is trying to move to DC to work for basically any Republican, but that Reynolds also wants him back because he is going to be facing "some Iraq vet who runs a nonprofit" and is going to need all his experienced staffers to fend off what he thinks is going to be a very close challenge.
It was hard to stifle my gleeful laughter when he told me this.
As Borat would say, "Great Success!" |
