Still In Wisconsin

This whole Nunes Memo thing reminds me of guys who talked big when I played HS football.

I was an offensive and defensive lineman in high school, by no means a great player but good enough to start on the varsity for a couple years on pretty decent teams. Anyway, as most know attempts at verbal intimidation and bravado are commonplace in football, and I got a bit more than my share because I have an obviously Jewish name and lived in a place where there weren't a whole lot of Jews. Now, sometimes guys would run their mouth and then proceed to knock the snot out of me once the game started. Other times, though, their actual abilities fell well short of the talk. When this happened I would always say "That's all you got?"

That's how I feel looking at this memo and the muted reaction to it. I know Comey expressed much the same. Republicans, that's all you got?

Sad.
