Jack Abrimoff was a bully even back in High School, according to...

[Up2Late]

LA Weekly Food writer Johnathan Gold.

Sorry to give away one of the surprises of this weeks Chicago Public Radio show "The American Life" <http://www.thislife.org/>, but if you are as disgusted with the whole Jack Abrimoff affair as I am, this is a "Must Hear Radio!"

It comes at the beginning of another great episode of "This American Life."

If you missed it, or if you don't know when it Airs in your area, you can stream it "live" from one of these local radio streams, listed at this link: <http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=28>

(Scroll down to the stations that are listed in BOLD.)

Coming on Now for the 6:00pm ET show.

BTW, Skip WABE (my local station), for some odd reason, they are playing a re-run, bastards!:mad:

I think Poppy's methods would be little more subtle.

3. Yup, Johnathan Gold described him as "...someone who would...

...cross the street just to be unpleasant to someone..."

It's amazing that they would print that, is that from the Yale school newspaper?

6. There's more info at the link.

It is in the 1969 Yale yearbook, the year after GWB graduated.

George W. Bush sucker-punches a rugby opponent at Yale
(Note: this entry posted by Bob Harris)

As long as we're re-examining the 1960s, looking for signs of character, trying to decide if a man who volunteered for combat and was decorated five times was more or less courageous than a guy who didn't even show up for his own medical exam... here's George W. Bush during his college days, hitting a fellow sportsman in the face.
