come on, risk. i ve risked before and i ve had to eat my column on television. i m going to go conor lamb plus four. kwhoo! i think i like that. i think you can t come up with a better name than conor lamb. lamb the sham, though. easy to rhyme. he is not a sham. what s your points? thank you. i was offered money if i co. would give six. thank you, sam stein, dana milbank and alexi mccammond. when we return tonight, let me finish with something truly wonderful that happened in american politics exactly 15 years ago today. you re watching hardball.
