1. John Warner is still alive?

wasn't he the one married to Liz Taylor?

[JHB]

2. The very same.

Now age 93.

3. I remember Liz Taylor there when he was sworn in,

All diamonds and furs. not your usual senate wife.

4. I bet Flake is considering a run in 2024

He's trying to get some bipartisan bona-fides in like he did in the Senate by pretending he was serious when he criticized his own party before he would fall in line like a good dog. If Trump wins or loses, he can run on being a return to normalcy and willing to work with both sides, etc.

8. Jeff Flake doesn't impress me.

And I don’t trust him.

Frankly, if it’s a republi-CON Anything, my instinct is not to trust them.

5. Please step right this way to the Democratic side folks! Thank you!
