47 – I take your point Bud – might have left the Fr. Frechette reference out if I’d reread my post…Too much of tweener – just about me and Wretch…I remembered – and I suspect he did – that the same phrase came up during our first hot encounter – …I’d invoked the work of Fr. Frechette in Haiti as an example of a Catholic personalism that seemed miles away from Bill Buckley’s morality. (A morality that Wretch identified with.) Wretch responded by trashing the good Fr. – lumping him with poverty pimps. It was a gross error. He could’ve backed off. Hell, when I screwed up by jumping to beat on Buckley the day after he died – I apologized…But – Wretch – he’s never wrong…

Be assured – no WDS here – Had a day off, playing Lynrd Synrd and Lady Gaga – checked the Club and figured I’d give Wretch a little grief for continuing to pander to Whiskeys of this world at the same time as he pretended to be an, ah, Appolinian head…To reference one of YOUR old posts…
