Fail Leadbelly here for. Free spice. Also. You know well there you have the strong virile arms of a 20 year old male hustler. A Green Beret Ray Walter you should have been a Green Beret instead of a conscientious objector. And. That was very right. You know how many I I don't know if you remember me my name is Danny 10 saying if they had to leave suddenly on sabbatical whatever that means. High. It's nice to see.

He has such a policy wonk a Harvard educated policy wonk he may be the commander in chief but he still need to poll the pickets animal companion 8 5 3 3 1 2 2. Hello this is the White House this is Mara McCarthy I want to cast my vote for Fluffy. Walter does lots of realize the extent to which this administration is using her that McDermott nomination was a total debacle their only choice is to go with someone bland and unobjectionable if that isn't bland and unobjectionable in this town as a. Her Hughes would say perception is everything focus Judy she did this president's greatest skill was keeping himself afloat What do you think you know if the nomination on Saturday and Judith. Your friend is worth a lot more than those and this opinion has nothing to do with your newfound commitment to the unborn don't divert the argument the question of character and would you say still does have character the Walt Disney Company moral just sold a screenplay to Disney for 7 figures started to bidding frenzy Well that doesn't mean they have character that just means morals master the art of appealing to the lowest common denominator. Or non-practicing heterosexuality is putting a definite cramp in your joie de vivre. Did it ever occur to you moral that you and many of the brightest minds in this country have been weighed into a simplistic position that sexual preference is the reason for all personal and societal happiness you mean it isn't. There won't be national health insurance or decent schools because of where you choose to place your penis wrong Judith gay culture is penetrating the media theatre health and education and we're working on a secret alliance with straight men for a world without women. Is not right Walter I dare either of you to say any of this outside this room why are you so bitter Judith you are the jewel in the crown of the Great Society Walter this is another perfect example of the inconsistency of the left and the reason for my happy transition to the far right Mario I'm a civilian I'm not interested in your soundbite all right if it was up to me Judith I'd secure both our rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness in my case that means sleeping with men and in your case self perpetuation and you don't care if you contribute to the future no it takes a village to contribute to the future. I'm concerned with the here and now does that make sense to you Walter you are the House and election absolutely. You're surprisingly silent this morning Walter no opinions on world or local news no nominations for whose column you could have written better you read about this Harvard professor who took hostages at the Legal Seafood Restaurant Yeah that must have been a really bad clam chowder. And I know him you know we did draft counseling together he's a pretty young guy very respected sociologist leftwing still listens to Ravi Shankar . To Kitsap Russian professor for a wife you must just totally lost it God That's depressing it won't happen to you Walter you take too many vitamins. And oh are homemade there's a pie and.

Judith is Jewish today is holy tosh like the festival of regrets and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. I was Jewish until I was permits but. Today I am a man and I choose to be agnostic to read more of the senators and Jewish it would be bumper to bumper all the way to the public eye. And she would someday I'd love to talk to you about being black and Jewish you are walking Crown Heights. I gotta go. I think she's an incredibly sexy woman you find cosmic anger is sexy Why shouldn't she be angry as far as she's concerned there's only one way to save the world and people like me are screwing it up in fact I'm the worst kind of offender gay conservatives and total media I enjoy the media I always have a good time there is a healthy attitude maybe Quincy here is the one who should run for office no sir I have 2 more books to write and I want to start my family before I focus on my public life my generation wants to do it all but we want to have some fun too don't you think sex is wildly important Walter sex is important sure why only.

I like to think that my beliefs should count for an open dialogue dad your beliefs on this subject are untenable How can you be so adamant about individual rights and deny the most personal rights when and if you have a child all life physical or intellectual begins at conception how would you know Lissa you want to treat religion as a random prejudice but in fact my morality is based on logic there is increasing evidence that who we are as human beings is determined by genetic structure we've even discovered that in sexual preference therefore I draw the line at conception where do you draw the line Senator but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Look to 90 in times of conflict my father all his quotes the Bible is anyone hungry wealthy how Carmelita is doing with the brunch is Carmelita your nanny Dr Who says no Carmelita is our housekeeper and her Social Security is fully paid.

Quoting the time you're bringing feminism into the 21st century you know has it ever occur to you that maybe it should cease and desist in the 20th century like Salvi of communism or the rotary dial you don't believe that you just said my wife is unhappy and according to time she's one of our 50 top leaders over 40 I was on the waiting list I said I couldn't find her soul you mean she's not sexy Walter I don't want to get into this with you you were one of my all time hero you think my wife is one of those seventy's good girls who came to prominence in the ninety's and scheduled so half an hour a day for spontaneity do you want to kiss me Walter because I think you wanted to kiss me all these years is that what this is about is it Walter you spend too much time in your head just kiss me because it's no big deal. If Teddy can write kiss you on the run and sometimes we can no I let him goose me under the table during the at this going to side panel you still haven't told me if you like your bloody virgin to marry have I stopped you or the telly Kenwright that's my dear lady talent in all departments and you're wrong about my wife she's a very happy woman are you happy Walter me you. I live in one of the nicest houses in Georgetown my wife is Ulysse says Grant's 5th generation granddaughter my children are both at the Sidwell Friends School floating through cyberspace and my 5 year old book is a standard for deconstructing liberalism and I happy consequence I want to bloody mary Ok with you fine. Oh well to her I am scared of going in there ridiculous I can tell morrow thinks I'm like virtual stupid so what morrow thinks I'm like actual stupidity that's moral is just. I love it when you laugh you're such a kind man Walter you like the Beach Boys Surf City there you go that's Jan and Dean. The Beach Boys or Help Me Rhonda Oh all that California crap is so limited in positive body image reefer women prime. No Beach Boys. Will simply get it is. Oh you're a pretty good dancer a very nice. Commuter community going to hear. Me. Lots of me you bring chubby to fizzy water and. Daddy says he prefers Mozart to listen Pickett's listen. Listen. To what you carry the physic water for chubby chubby likes where water is. Off to the west in Memphis where the sun's mid morning fire beat on a wider stream his purpose headstrong as a river runs Grant closed a smoky door on Aids and guards and chewed through scheme on scheme for toppling Vicksburg like a house of cards and the poet is. Can you take it Harvard. Carl Sandburg start right for 20 points can you take it Princeton Walt Whitman no time's up the answer is Richard Well Bert. Brats we still need to fund arch education gentleman. Quality of life it's an issue of quality of life and death of secret branches of believably good. Don't give all the credit to Carmelita why not you were certainly occupied elsewhere. Lisa don't really need Madeleine's are screwed up so they're just like the nilla wafers from the box my boys love them all lite references are really euphemisms for gay therefore the expression he's a little light in the loafers I've never heard that well then you also wouldn't know that light potato chips and cream cheese are officially approved gay products nor. Timber maybe we should do this another time my family is getting tired nonsense mostly we're all here now and having a great time will only use a minute of this you're all doing great you have nothing to worry about you are the epitome of good breeding you're so calm and collected actually I'm the person who always feels compelled to make an effort I've always envied grace under pressure Oh me too Tim but I know a quote unquote feminist but I was the 1st female manager of the Southampton golf club and the 1st to host the Dinah Shore club Oh Mrs mother was a great fan of dinosaurs she wanted to see that you were asked say and I'm like. I remember my mother having any sense of adventure at all she was the kind of ordinary Indiana housewife who took pride in her icebox cakes and her teas to mentor can and pay icebox cakes I'm sorry what icebox. There's sort of a month St Helens that erupted overnight in the refrigerator you alternate layers of cookies and whipped cream and then shell it was. Terrific woman unfortunately listen lost her mother one when she was only 14 must have been very difficult as I get older I regret not having known her better but I wasn't particularly close to her at the time and dad sent me to boarding school that year so I didn't really suffer I think my daughter has tremendous reserves of strength and compassion maybe it's because she lost her mother at such a young age I believe Leslie is about as close to a female role model as we get here here if I had to vote for the person I thought had genuine confidence and class it would be less Ok tomorrow you can stay for supper oh it's through with your nomination another political dynasty like the Roosevelts of the Kennedys is being established Americans always ensure on their own oh I have to disagree the future of vitality of this country is not coming from traditional sources but from a diverse multicultural Wellspring but who is still in charge Walter. Not a common story that the agent gay president of the United States turns to his African-American disabled lesbian vice president and says we have to be sure to have at least one straight white guy in the cabinet let's give them transportation morrow I would say that anyone who dined through Princeton at the I wrote a column for The Washington Post and just sold the movie for a $1000000.00 is far more elitist than individuals from families with a tradition of public service I am an elitist I have to be I represent a persecuted minority that's absolutely true but what's far more insidious is the current left wing rage for selective privilege or self-righteous entitlement am I right Senator morrow I lost you at the gay cream cheese. I'm. I'm. Making a legitimate point here there are liberal professionals who believe they deserve special treatment because their heart is in the right place for example your daughter and my best friend Dr Lissa dent Hughes. Surgeon general nominee a woman of impeccable commitment at the forefront of women's health issues pro-choice pro gay has never served on a jury. Well she is a very busy woman have you ever served on a jury Maro I'm not a registered voter I'm still technically Canadian I've always had work and family conflicts when the invitations arrive I mean the summonses a person has 2 choices Morrow who can either shoot the cattle or run for Congress and whole family homily I don't follow ther It makes about as much sense as your theory about selective privilege Oh well wait. You saying that the people who do answer their invitations who do serve on juries are less crucial to their family and work than your daughter not everyone can believe that their innate goodness their superior agenda simply gives them the right to ignore the invitation I always presented my conflicts to the court except for the time you didn't well I once didn't pay a talking to it and nothing ever happened. My daughter has been a diligent and brilliant public health administrator she will be a brilliant and diligent Surgeon General thank you jumper has been terrific fun I'm sorry but Shelby and I are expected at another brunch that's the great thing about brunch it goes on all day thank you sir I appreciate your time Dr hears I'm sorry but I have to ask you something just for clarification did you deliberately not answer the jury duty notification No I believe I misplaced it subsequently did you contact the county clerk's office. Where you intending to bring this up at your confirmation hearing. It didn't occur to me Jimbo my wife of mother of 2 small children she's a professor of Public Health at Georgetown and ran a major public hospital not to mention a nationally known lecturer she is in fact a very busy woman Lucia Walker's to the car Senator do you believe your colleagues who share your anti choice position on abortion will seize on this information to embarrass the president 2nd nominee timber Now let me ask you something who's buried in Grant's tomb. The answer is about as interesting as what my daughter did with a piece of paper I think most Americans would rather know more about my beautiful 4th wife I fell in love with her when I found out her name was chubby. That aren't there you know that's another way to look at this list it didn't use problem Dr Hughes is a prisoner of her gender she took on so many obligations that the basic necessities of life like responding to a simple jury form became overwhelming the best intentions and females often become the seats of their own destruction Ok Jimmy you can stop take we have it all right thank you. Dr Abramson Do you mind if I go upstairs to get some footage of the letter from Vicksburg help you so may I join you I'm fascinated by Holmes this is a story but. That woman is a moron. Why did. You do that I didn't do anything he's the one who's making a meal out of this he's just the kind of a heterosexual man I cannot bear but your the one that brought up the jury too and you know this isn't protected listen not mentioned it to begin with you put it out there Walter if I hadn't caught it imagine where Miss warm penis would have run with it I just saved you Walter you should be grateful to me you hate us all because we're straight only a straight man would be insensitive enough to ask that question. That he says he'll call us later I thought your father gave a vintage performance and I've got a secret yen for chubby isn't Jerry waiting for you at the gym. Don't waste your time being upset about this listen the more timber show is talked about the greater the buzz for you why can't you just see it all as a game. I love you Lissa you'll never know how important you are to me. Goodbye morrow. This is l.a. Theatre Works production of an American daughter by Wendy Wasserstein our story continues in our 2.

Don't worry lizard everything's going to be fine your fathers right now once interested in their road survivalist Nazis overturning their government in Idaho they haven't been nominated for surgeon general can spin you right out of the South call my old roommate Ted Kramer at the times I'm very tired Walter why don't you take Quincy. I don't want to take Quincy home she could take a taxi I want to be with you I'd feel better if you took her home so then you can not speak to me for a week and tell me 2 months later it was because I took you home. And say you know that's what girls of her generation enjoy doing as opposed to the frigid overextended no for narcissists of my generation isn't that why you kissed her 1st . It didn't mean anything in our house. It happened in our house. You're from Vicksburg it's very poignant 1st soldier he had great depth I can't imagine what it is to literally fight for one's principles Quincy Walter said he'd drive you home. I'm just at the 4 Seasons I can take a cab to Georgetown isn't as safe as it used to be thank you for coming Walter has always been so proud of your achievements where we erred you will surely transcend come out Quincy.
