You’ll need a list of questions for Rusty, LA.
1 Is an ABC person in the senate like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse (or a Woolf in sheep’s clothing)?
2. Is Woolfie going to bring his panoply of interests to the Senate (from sheep crutching to making a decent meal out of mutton).
3.Is there going to be an inquiry into the administration of 720A.M.
4. Is Rusty across the new media, from the looks of it , not.
