37. Cesca is charmingly quaint too.

Well... except without the charming part.

Pretty much without the quaint part too.

Ok then, just a garden-variety tool, like a hoe for instance.

Cesca's Manifesto? What, pray tell, would that be? If Cesca ever broke an earth-shatteringly important story, I don't remember hearing that he did. I searched for one too, but I couldn't find one, maybe I missed it? I normally wouldn't rag on him like this, but since he saw fit to do it to Greenwald (out of nothing more than pure jealousy as far as I can tell), well, what the hell, he's got it coming.

I did however find this gem below, while looking for greatness about Bob: Gawky, young, conservative Cesca's idea of a hero. Now that is quaint! I didn't know a guy could gush this much. You learn something every day -- that HuffPo is so informative, almost as much as AOL.

Oh, woops, I forgot to address the point, didn't I? I would, except I can't find one -- only that Cesca appears to be upset that Greenwald made a statement to a newspaper. What a eff'ed up thing to do! What does that guy think he is, anyway, a journalist or something? Oh, I forgot, only Cesca is a journalist, only he can talk to newspapers. (As the cartoon Tom Terrific used to say when we boomers were kids) RIGHT-E-O!
