I know Jim Schifrin and you take the things he does and says wayyyyy too seriously. He's a hilarious guy who was a very successful PR man in Cincinnati (now retired)who has a lot of fun roasting political people on both sides - even including some of his own friends - and most of his targets deserve it,frankly. I think the column is a lot of fun, and it's about the ONLY internet political column/blog that I read regularly. BTW - I wonder if the other anonymous person whining about Jim's Schmidt-bashing is the same ex-Schmidt aide who was on this blog weeks ago whining about people being allowed to post anonymously on RAB again?
