18. I almost started a thread about the Obamas' table presence.


But I knew I would be drawn-and-quartered.

How the heck do people reach such high stations in life without learning - at the very least - proper table etiquette?

I was once in the 'presence' of one Richard Cheney at a steak house in Dallas. He ate like an animal, arms on table and devouring his meal while chewing with mouth open. I could not believe what I was seeing, and I am no prude.

Like you, my Mother taught me better.

Funny how Tom is always at the right place at the right time to see the perfect person do the perfect thing.

Hey, he made the "Dear Abby" column and now he's shooting for "Miss Manners".

I know you wrote that letter to Abby, Johnny.

I know you wrote that letter to Abby, Johnny.

I swear I didn't.....I just wish I had enough duplicity and smarts to do something like that.

Like Obama, I'd take credit for it in a minute if it weren't y'all I'd be lying too.

Is there a list of all the famous people TiT/Sonoman/DBH has rubbed elbows with?  How does he not have 50 best-selling tell-alls?

I'm not sure, but I think I know the richest of them:

So I was hanging out on Main Street when a billionaire friend stopped by..
   

She had just gotten off the phone with the White House and she was totally pissed off.

A little background on my friend:
She was born in Persia, educated in Switzerland and England, and is a true Citizen of the World in every regard.
Her family was very much involved with the regime of the Shah and very successful in global commerce.
When Khomeini came to power, everyone in her family fled except for her because her husband (a nuclear physicist) had altered her passport and identification papers and left the country with his secretary.
When my friend got to the airport in Tehran she was immediately arrested and thrown into prison. And there she stayed until her father, who was in Belgium, was able to get in touch with Mehdi Bazargan, the acting Prime Minister.
Bazargan showed up at the prison, demanded her release, took her to the airport and put her on a plane to Paris.
She lost everything she had, tens of millions of dollars.
But she has more than made up for those losses.

So I am sitting at my usual perch on our town's little Main Street. Several of us (and all here would be greatly surprised at the makeup of our little group) meet there daily to solve the problems of the World. Obviously, we aren't doing an adequate job.

Here comes my friend and she is roiling boiling pissed off. I have never seen her angry, she is coolly unflappable.
But the Qana bombings have pushed her over the edge.
She has no dog in the fight, a total realist with incredible insight on Middle Eastern affairs.
So she called the White House. Knowing her like I do, I am sure she spoke to someone in the office of the Prez or Vice. She is not the kind to call a switchboard and has access to people at every level of any government that counts on a global level. Her husband's obit was a full page in the NY Times, if that makes my point any clearer.

I could go on and on, but I won't.

Here is the punch line:
She vowed to dedicate the rest of her life making sure that Bush, Cheney, Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith, et al, have nothing but misery for the rest of their lives after leaving office. She intends to insure that they will never be able to travel outside the States and she plans on funding a full-court press on the World Stage and Courts.

I have never heard her utter a political statement in all the time I have known her.
And now this.

Also, I have known many powerful, wealthy, and tough people in my life.
Of all of them, she is the last person I would want gunning for my ass.

     That, by the way, is my favorite Hollis T. Wright lie of all time.

ROTFLMAO.

I think we almost need to do another thread.

We have nadin's resume, now we need to compile a list of people TiT has "met" or "known".  Holding shotguns to their chest is not necessary, mere mention of their name is sufficient.

"TomInTib in the DUmpster"

It's only a representative sample, and doesn't include all, but it does include much.

[GOBUCKS]

I always enjoyed how TiT and his BFF Tom Snyder used to discuss the world's problems on a bench in the Tiburon town square.

[Reality vs DU]

If Tom manages to stay at the DUmp for a year, he's a shoe-in comeback DUmmie of the year.  Not to mention DOTY.

I have read that somewhere in a book. Word for word.

The Tit dropper thread.

[Karin]

Say, I'm having a glimmer of memory here.  Wasn't there some sort of incident with a green hi-liter? 

[Karin]

At the thread, it was Progressiveinaction who quoted the billionaire story back to $Bill.  Was he mocking him?  Is that an old Tom tale? 

I rowed over, and was a little surprised.  Nobody jumped on Tom for bitching about the horrible etiquette.  They all knew the pictures would be coming out.  And, they were dissing Chris Mathews right and left for being such a squee about preezy.

Yes .He supposedly took a highlighter and marked some guys briefcase with it like some 11 year old juvenile.

The imaginary guy was from the Carlyle Group.

At the time, just coincidentally, the Carlyle Group was the DUmp's biggest bogeyman, later replaced by the Koch brothers.

If it happened today, TiT would be vandalizing something belonging to the Koch brothers.

    And in 2002, it would have been Halliburton. Every few years they need a new evil corporation. If he didn't hve such an issue with the JOOOOOOOOOOOS, we would have learned about Tom locking horns with the boys at Goldman Sachs.
