NEW YORK (AP) -- After celebrities raised $7.5 million with a concert for Democratic candidates John Kerry and John Edwards, an angry Bush campaign challenged their opponents on Friday to release a videotape showing performers calling the president a "liar" and a "cheap thug" during the show.

Actor Chevy Chase drew laughs and cheers from the Radio City Music Hall audience when he described politicians and their hobbies: "Clinton plays the sax, John plays the guitar, and the president's a liar." John Mellencamp sang "Let me tell you a story about the Texas Bandito," a tune that referred to Bush as a "cheap thug."

"If John Kerry is going to praise last night's star-studded hate fest and characterize it as the 'heart and soul' of America, he should share these values with voters everywhere," Bush-Cheney campaign manager Ken Mehlman said Friday in a statement. "We call on Kerry to release the video of this event so that all Americans can see what John Kerry has called America's 'heart and soul."'

<snip>

The celebrities didn't hold back, bashing Bush at every opportunity. "This guy's as bright as an egg timer," said Chase, who ridiculed the president for his tendency to flub the English language. John Leguizamo, a comedian and actor who is Puerto Rican, quipped: "Latins for Republicans. It's like roaches for Raid."

...more...

Do they want the tape so that they can do their gestapo tactics?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

1. Maybe the GOP should have thought about a potential backlash...

...when they were attempting to force Clinton out of office. The comments made about FratBoy pale in comparison the the comments made about Clinton, Hillary and Chelsea.

I have three words for those angry Republicans...can you guess what they are?

[chemenger]

7. Go F*** Yourself?

What's my prize???

[Media_Lies_Daily]

33. Unlimited posting on DU!!! Hooray!!

[samsingh]

63. no it's

go cheney yourself

[ArnoldLayne]

82. They can

go Cheney themselves.

[Zen]

90. The key word is "thought" - hee, you know they are incapable

of rational or intelligent thought. Killers.

[2Design]

2. maybe the tape will get lost like Bush deserter record

[opihimoimoi]

4. The Pubs go into the ATTACK THE MESSENGER MODE////

Fuck the Message, go for the messenger....

[jdj]

80. Here's my contribution:

Jingle bells
Clinton sells
Moore got the Palme d'Or

W. sucked
Cheney's fucked
It's Kerry in 2004!!!

[goclark]

42. "It was accidentally destroyed"

That should be the answer.
Kerry camp should say," the grandson of the guy who "accidentally destroyed" the microfilm of Georgie's records in the service(oops when he was not in the service)messed up the tape of the Fund Raiser."

Too bad, too sad.

[SoCalDem]

47. Yep.. they "tried" to burn a copy for the GOP, but it "malfunctioned"

and destroyed the original:)..

[cthrumatrix]

93. Kerry should say "I want to get to the bottom of this"...and forget like

AWOL does on serious matters.

[democrat_patriot]

70. Dem response:

Reasons we are unable to deliver it:

1. It was 'accidentally destroyed' during the copy phase as can happen with government databases and Presidents military records.

2. The rEpubes might doctor the video and use innapropriate images (like Hitler) again. And I don't want my children to see that.

3. It may get classified as a 'state secret' and than nobody gets to see it.

4. "It's delayed for the same reasons The Bush administations deficit/budget report is...we'll release it at the as soon as it's ready"

5. It's been quarantined in one of the Bush protestor zones.

6. We accidentally taped over it with John Ashcroft's rousing rendition of 'Let the Eagles Soar'.

7."It's not considered fair and balanced".

8. "It's with the WMD's, as soon as you find those...."

9. "In the spirit of Right-Wing theater owners - we have decided it should not be shown"

10. "Now we had a deal, you were to give us the SECRET energy meeting documents first".

[2Design]

75. LOL ...LOL.....LOL

:):):):):)

[maryallen]

83. Brilliant, democrat patriot ...

I would love to hear any one of these retorts delivered by a Democratic politician!

The Repubs wouldn't hesitate to lob a verbal grenade. Why should we?

[Zen]

91. Hey, you need to send that list to "David Letterman" so he can

do a "top ten reasons why Kerry couldn't release campaign video"! spot.

That would be priceless!!

[qanda]

3. 'Roaches for Raid'

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[leesa]

22. THAT was priceless!

The perfect description of the types we have wondered about for years....Logcabin Republicans....christians for war...laborers for the anti-labor party

[AspenRose]

46. "Chickens for Colonel Sanders"

hee hee

[scarface2004]

71. jews for hitler!

and devil worshippers for christ!

[Mari333]

5. Bush is a cheap thug, a lowlife fratboy, a war criminal and a bastard

I can think of a zillion other names to call him..he and his ilk should have been thrown in jail by now
every decent American feels this way
The GOP can kiss my ass, and can kiss the ass of my kid in Iraq , who will be voting for Kerry/Edwards.

[Puglover]

15. Here here Mari!

I could'nt have said it one bit better!

[TankLV]

44. I harbor a lot more thoughts on the subject,

but they are agains the rules of this discussion board.

[Pachamama]

86. Your post makes me wonder what % of our military will vote for AWOL...

...since they (the Repukes) in 2000 and other elections always seem so confident about getting the military vote...

I am glad your son is safe and stays that way and gets home safe soon - and glad he is voting K&E....what does he say about the fellow soldiers and their voting plans? I just can't believe with the extensions of tours of duty, the false premise this war was based on and the things they have seen (not to mention the Bu$h cuts in Veteran benefits etc.) that any soldier serving or retired would vote for this AWOl piece of Sh*t....

By the way Mari - you must know other Mom's of soldiers, do many feel like you about the war and AWOL? What %? I'm just curious.....This administration and the media don't let us know that kind of info...

[Hekate]

88. Military Families Speak Out is the org you want to look up

I don't know about percentages going over to Kerry, but this involuntary servitude is really starting to wear on personnel and their families. These people are suffering, but react in various ways -- some by clinging to the idea that since their loved ones are serving honorably and with good intent that therefore the people who sent them into harm's way are also honorable and well-intentioned. Mari has taken quite a bit of flak from some military wives who thought that because she was speaking out she was unpatriotic, unsupportive of the troops, and generally subversive. MFSO is one antidote to the notion that all military and their families are marching lockstep to Bush's tune.

6. They're doing it again Monday in Boston

I got tickets Fleet ctr. 6:00 P.M.
Call boston campaign hdq. 617-367-1551

[Solly Mack]

8. Is Bush going to turn over the tapes from ALL of his fundraisers?

campaign dinners?...I didn't think so.

Bush doesn't turn over records of anything. They get "inadvertenly destroyed"

[qb]

9. Waaaaaaaaaaaa! What a bunch of crybabies!

Whining about barbs in a comedy routine???
I guess it hurts when you can't find a repuke with an ounce of talent. They have to give all of their punch lines (like "serial rapist father of a black child" Bill Clinton and "Vince Foster's murderin' lesbian lover" Hillary Clinton) to their esteemed senators and representatives.

[calimary]

49. And let's not forget the "cheese-eating surrender monkey" business.

These "people" do one thing well: they fight dirty. All they seem to know how to do is just mindlessly attack. Search and destroy. Scorched earth. Hit below the belt, name-calling, etc. I seem to recall that many of the loudest Clinton persecutors were those who had ALSO cheated on THEIR wives, and more often than not, to a much more egregious extent - as in 1) children fathered out of wedlock with the women with whom they cheated on their wives; 2) broken marriages and divorces for the women with whom they cheated; 3) and let's all NEVER forget the shining example set by newt gingrich, throwing over his wife while she was in the cancer ward because he wanted to trade her in on some cutesy new healthy version. I seem to recall him having brought his divorce papers to his wife's hospital bed for her to sign. MY aren't they on the up-n-up!

Hey, WE didn't start this. Nor have any of us said the F-word in the Senate. Their glass houses just get bigger and bigger and bigger...

[prodigal_green]

57. when I went to the animal shelter to get my pup

I asked if they had any cheese-eating surrender monkeys. They laughed, then showed me the dogs.

[jdj]

81. I laughed so hard at that I choked (or LMAO&C ?)

I guess we should call the bushites "crow-eating torture weasels" or something.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

101. LOL. New Kerry sticker: "VOTE KERRY, HE WON'T TORTURE YOU"

Catchy. Simple...True?...hmmmm...

[Tsiyu]

10. Why Not?

Considering the love affair Americans have with celebrities ( Ahnold comes to mind here) let's show some of their favorite comedians and musicians telling the truth ( wassat? ) about our leaders.

[Ivan Zero]

68. Works for me

Whoever will they sympathize with?

People who have been entertaining them for decades?
Or the arrogant morans who've been misleading them for 3.5 years?

[skippysmom]

11. Get over it, assholes

Last I checked it's still a free country.

[dbt]

12. Fuck bu$h. And his campaign. And the Court than installed him.

Who cares what he/they think? Make no mistake:

Fuck bu$h.
Deeply.
Severely.
Repeatedly.

:evilgrin:
dbt

[Mikimouse]

28. You left out the part...

about the instrument being barbed!

[xxqqqzme]

13. her I was hopin' the DNC

would offer a tape or DVD as a fundraiser gimmick

Roaches for Raid?! Now that is funny.

add: they're just pissed cuz they have no sense of humor and no talent.

[russian33]

17. of course they have talent!

Pat Boone, Dixie Carter, Kid Rock...they all support Dear Leader

[UpInArms]

24. you left out that policy heavyweight

Britney Spears!

:evilgrin:

[Dogmudgeon]

25. Kid Rock is pro-Bush now?

He's been back and forth at least twice since 9/1//01.

Only God knows why.

Bright guy overall, but probably politically muddle-headed. Well, it's easy enough to get that way. But with all his money, he should invest in a couple of books.

--bkl

[russian33]

31. Last I knew..

..he made a big stink when Russell Simmons invited him to go see F9/11, and left a note on Russell's car that said something like 'Vote Bush'...it was in the Hamptons last weekend

[Crachet2004]

14. If they REALLY want to get their feelings hurt, they should spend a...

little time here on DU. And I hope we all keep up the good work!

[llmart]

16. What a bunch of crybabies.

We had to endure 8 years of their vendetta against the Clintons and all the name calling that that invoked, but as soon as a little humor is poked at them they cry foul. As usual, because they don't have a record to stand on they have to make mountains out of molehills. Let's see how many celebrities (other than Toby Keith and Brittany Spears - those paragons of virtue but no talent) support this administration.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. They can dish it out, they just can't take it!

How many videos exist of the repukes doing the exact same thing but not in any joking fashion? Shouldn't they have more inportant things to worry about then if some Liberal comedians think * is a stupid lying thug? Which he is of course. Truth hurts. America's Heart and Soul. That's rich coming from this bunch! How many times has Coulter stated that Liberals should be killed? How many slimy things did Sean Insannity, Pigboy and O'lying say about the Clintons' including Chelsea? Cheneying hypocrites!

[havocmom]

103. Spot on! If Kerry is somehow responsible, then bush* is too for the hate

speech from all the wingers! And they are a rather nasty bunch who spew more garbage than liberals could ever manage!

If bush* isn't responsible for each and every hateful remark made by a neocon winger because they all are entitled to their opinions, then the same is true on the other side of that coin.

[Malva Zebrina]

19. can dish it out, but cannot take it--the unmistakable sign of a coward and

a bully.

Challenge his "manhood" and Bush, in his adolescent approach to everything, will really lose it big time.

[wurzel]

20. Drudge: "Bush/Cheney call for the release of videos"!!!!

Reported with a straight face!!!!!! And our "media" isn't a bunch of journalistic whores?

[gatlingforme]

36. haha, the Drudge report, you can shoot me if I ever quote from

the Drudge report. I agree with you. The media is out to sell papers not tell any kind of truth or anything associated with it. (truth)

[wurzel]

92. I always look at Drudge if I feel depressed.

You got to admit it is always good for a laugh.

[fairfaxvadem]

21. Oh Cry Me a River, Ken

Go back to your elitist base.

What a bunch of 3rd Graders.

[livinginphotographs]

23. Funny, I'm not offended.

I'd like to thank the Republicans for looking out for me and my tender feelings, though. :eyes:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. Whine F***in' Schmine

They hate when people use their tactics against them!

[proud patriot]

27. only if they release video of the Trifecta "jokes"

:grr:

[omshanti]

29. aww.. poor widdle georgie, did they anger you? n/t

[truthisfreedom]

30. sounds like things are shaping up!

8^) yay!

[cease_fire]

32. Yessss... Because it's okay that there's video tape showing...

A President walking away from reporters questions about Kenny-Boy

That Orin Hatch can nominate a Judge that wants women to be slaves and that rape doesn't cause pregnancy

A President riding on Enron's private jet.

Condi-sleazy Rice saying that Saddam is not a threat.
Rumsferatu saying that Saddam is not a threat.
AG Asscroft said "People better watch what they say and what they do"

oh... wait... There's also tape showing;

Condi-sleazy Rice saying that Saddam has WMD
Rumsferatu saying that the WMD's are North South East and West of Baghdad, you know, near Tikrit.
Al-Saddar is Bad.
Al-Saddar is Good.
Chilabi is Good.
Chilabi is Bad - and a Spy - who works for Iran.

Maybe Ken Mehlman wants to see what the Soul of America is because he sold his to Satan 3 years ago.

Or maybe he never had one.

When an 83 year PILLAR of Journalism says "The white house LIES", all of the sudden, I don't give a flying FUCK what the GOP wants to see.

Let them "Call on Kerry" all they want.

They'll release the video just as soon as they release;

The Energy Meeting transcripts
Sibel Edmonds testimony
The microfiche (COME ON! ARE YOU KIDDING?)
The Harken Energy Papers

and

My fucking patriotism from the patriot act.

Come and get me you little impotent bastards.

Game On.

[Melinda]

54. What a brilliant post! A belated welcome to DU, cease_fire :-)

:hi:

[progressivebydesign]

67. Oh! that post smokes!

Way to get a running start here! Brilliant! Welcome!

[JohnOneillsMemory]

102. DING - "TKO for 'cease_fire,' a misleadingly named fighter...n/t

[deacon]

34. Hatefest? The GOP just spent over 100 million on attack ads

Poor babies, sniff sniff for those girly men.

[bain_sidhe]

56. "girly men"??? That's an insult to the girls *I* know...

any one of which has more brass in her left little toe than any of those repuke whiners have in their entire (purely ornamental, apparently) testicular sacks.

[neuvocat]

35. Let them have it.

That way everyone can see what its like to use their freedom of speech.

[rustydog]

37. The republican Pussies can dish it out but cry like the gutless

cowards they are when someone strikes back in the same manner.

Want some cheese to go with that whine,loser?

[Southsideirish]

100. Amen! They are the biggest whiners in the history of whining!

God, how they make me want to puke. Who CARES what they like and don't like - we should go way out of our way to piss 'em off!

[johnnie]

38. I hope they do release the video

They should run it along with F9-11. These people make me ill. The sad thing is, they are actually in "charge" of this Country, and they all sound like a pack of whining school children.

[Stephanie]

39. All the good talent's on our side

Did you see Bush's WH special? With the ventriloquist?

[stanwyck]

52. wait a minute

aren't Britney, Bo, Travis, and Drew fans of Bush? Uh, guess you're right. My mistake.

[antigone382]

40. The positions of the Bush Administration, Juxtaposed

"Go f*** yourself"

Spoken by the Vice President on the floor of the Senate;

Made Dick Cheney "feel better"; "needed to be said"; wasn't "an issue" to Bush or the Bush Campaign;

"Bush is a liar and a cheap thug who is as bright as an egg timer, and can't speak English as well as most of the Latinos he hates" (paraphrased, obviously)--

Spoken by celebrity-musicians and comedians during a fundraising concert;

a "hatefest" that does not represent the "heart and soul of America"

Now it's your turn.

Which of the two incidents do you think was worse: our second highest elected official cussing out a senator--on the floor of one of our nation's most sacred edifices of dignified debate and compromise--because he *dared* to question the motives of the administration; or a few comedians and musicians making fun of a president who has thrust us into an unnecessary and costly war, consistantly favored the interests of big business over the needs of average Americans, and whose arrogance, stupidity, and audacity has caused nations around the world to view America with repugnance?

I'd like to say I'm outraged, or even mildly dismayed, but hypocrasies like this are what I've come to expect from the parasites infesting the White House these days.

[KurtNYC]

41. One of the last times they cried like this

it launched a two week media frenzy over Bush's AWOL /deserter status. They were crying about Michael Moore introducing Wes Clark and it totally backfired on them. The only sure way to get the RW media to cover this stuff is to feed these kinds of things. Send them an edited tape with only the funny stuff, "roaches for raid" etc. - if they want to re-air that stuff, great.

[TrogL]

43. Get it released on SHOWTIME

[prodigal_green]

60. No, Pay Per View

Raise millions that way!!

[TankLV]

45. An official RNC repuke organization produces a HITLER anti-Kerry ad,

and this is OK - NOT a SINGLE PEEP from these honerable, offended pukes.

But a some persons, who happens to support Kerry, say a few TRUTHFUL comments (finally) about these CRIMINALS AND THUGS, at a social event that the candidate attended - AND HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER - and they find the time to be ourraged?

Just want to make sure I have this correct.

[MrTriumph]

48. Bush reminds us today

In Penn. today W reminded the crowd of his 2000 promise to the military that "help's on the way". Baloney like that is really what's offensive, not to mention Cheney's profanity in the Senate.

[Skidmore]

50. I hope the military notices

how he's help them. What a prick!!

[90-percent]

51. geez

Gee Whizz George, dont be such a wussy!! Wheres all that "bring 'em on" bravado from last year?

I think Gitmo's gonna be getting some new celebrity residents in a few days!

-jim

[catmandu57]

53. Cheney him

we're taking him out. You know in a way it may be interesting for Kerry to finance this campaign without federal funds. I believe we could match them and raise the pot.

[xchrom]

55. what nice thing can you say about a man who stole

and whined and mugged people to get into office?

[Malva Zebrina]

58. well, he is a liar and cheap thug

and that is very obvious. So?

He now is using his slovenly daughter as a prop

and she, like her mother, is the willing participant in the propaganda farce.

Why? Because she has no ethics or morals to speak of--that is only for the little guys and she is entitled after all.

I think she really likes being in the limelight and fantasizes herself as a fashion model wearing these designer rags that do not compliment her rather softic figure.

She is born rich and priveledged and knows nothing, nor cares to know anthing of the real life nor of the lives of the suffering others that have suffered under her father's policies.

Further, she does not seem to have the intelligence to even care about it, sticking to the Bush women philosophy of why should they bother their beautiful minds with the little people or the dead soldiers coming back inb to this country.

It is simply disgusting that this cheap looking, slovenly dressed young woman, prances about with her criminal father for a photo op.



I wonder, if Cheney's daughter Mary, is raking in a six figure salary for working on his campaign as has been reported, how much this slovenly looking, equally arrogant priveledged daughter of an arrogant man and his wife, is taking in by working on her father's campaign.

I am willing to bet it is also a six figure salary.

All she has to do is appear in too tight clothing,expose a little cleavage, looking like a cheap whore and she earns her six figure salary.

62. America's Heart and Soul

is saying the same thing you nimrods.

Those fancy-pants elitests like John Mellencamp and John Leguizamo wouldn't know a thing about the hearts and souls of America.

note: whenever I hear the expression "winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis" I wonder why they never say the first part of this Viet Nam era saying "get 'em by the balls and their hearts and minds will follow."

[progressivebydesign]

66. Wait.. Rush Oxy Limbaugh is an HONORED GUEST OF BUSH..

.. and he has called Gore "Satan", and called Kerry worse than that.. he is an honored guest of the White House, an honored member of the GOP... And the weak-kneed, falsely indignant assholes in the Bush Campaign are calling foul over some comments during a show?? WTF is next?? Subpeona Jon Stewart for his jokes?

Remember.. "watch what you say", "your comment has been noted in the building". Release it on video?? Sure.. now that those M.F.s have access to your video rental records...

[4_Legs_Good]

69. A new low in politics! Bad Democratds BAD!!!!

I can't believe that people are actually out there MAKING FUN OF THE PRESIDENT!!!

Rediculous!!! I've never heard of such a thing in a free socieity before.!

Ridiculing your public officials??? This has GOT to be the FIRST time this has EVER happened.

Yowzers! What is the world coming to.

73. Fatty Limp Balls

These are the same people who don't have a problem with Fatty Limp Balls making Barbs about Democrats.

[AngryLizard]

74. I wish to God the DNC would put it out on DVD

And sell it on their website. Sell it on Amazon. MOVE that puppy! "You want it? Buy it." How much you want to bet it'll be a bestseller? I'd buy a couple of those, myself, just for spite. Especially if Carlson Tucker promises to eat a copy!

[oldcoot]

97. Good idea

If the Republicans want to see the DVD, let them pay to see it.

[wish_I_could_vote]

76. when I first heard about this

I thought SHIT, something else to get attacked about. And something more troublesome than "all lawyers are bad" and such absurdities. Then tonight a news show showed clips of the late night shows taking shots at Bush. And I realized they were saying the same kind of stuff the republicans are whining about, with one significant difference....no curses. And since the potty mouth VP has already made it clear that swearing is not only acceptable, it feels good and you should be glad you did it....so I now feel quite comfortable telling all the complainers to f off.

[monobrau]

77. pay no attention to crybaby pimps

It's time America scraped this shit off our collective heels. It's time we held our heads high in the world again. Pay no attention to the murdering thugs, common thieves and child molesters who see the end of their little run coming up quickly.
And if you have a chance to kick a whiny freeper in the teeth, by all means take it.

[ruggerson]

78. More Republican Lies

There were no profanities and no obscenities uttered at this event. The Republican Deception Team is at it again. There was some ribald humor, but not like the Republicans are trying to advertise it.

Someone from Kerry's campaign (are you listening?) should fight back calling the Republican's liars for putting these fabrications up on the RNC website.

Furthermore, I have personally witnessed and heard far worse things spewed by Republicans ON THE FLOORS OF CONGRESS about CLinton and HIllary than were uttered at this fundraiser by comedians.

Remember what Dan Burton called Clinton?

Republicans have no shame and they are chronic liars. It's time they were called on it.

[ramapo]

79. Typical school-kid reaction

They can dish it out but sure can't take it.

Clinton was regularly referred to as a scumbag, liar, murderer, drug dealer, and draft dodger amongst other things.

I believe it was the esteemed Senator Helms who once said that Clinton shouldn't visit North Carolina because he might be killed there.

They weren't much for respect back then were they?

[Hailtothechimp]

85. Did you see Kerry on the guitar and Edwards singing with Jon Bon Jovi?

And John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, and Wyclef Jean doing their thing. Match that, George and Dick.

[bleowheels]

87. They can't match that! That's why they bitch!!

None of their supporters ever had to settle for a "little pink house."

[Hailtothechimp]

96. I'd like to see "Pink Houses" as a campaign theme song.

Great song and right on point. Ain't that America...for you and me?

[Zen]

89. Yeah, was reading about their whining on boston.com -

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/president/articles/2004/07/10/kerry_camp_on_the_defensive_after_celebrities_bash_bush/

I sent the author a note of approval:

"Hi,

Thanks for the article. Funny how the blood-thirsty killers in the White House can slaughter thousands based on lies and yet be really sensitive when taken to task on it - hey, I guess I can't blame them for feeling guilty. I am so glad these people are telling the truth, and I don't think Kerry should appologize for what these people think - they're Americans like the rest of us. That is unless they (right-wingers) need to be pointed in the direction of a few web-sites these fascist thugs like to promote - yeah, I didn't think so. :o)"

I think that sums up my feelings :o}~~~~~~~~~~~~

[truth2power]

94. ROCK ON, YOU GUYS!!!!

I've been LMAO reading this thread. 91 posts and no one has shown up yet to whine about how we shouldn't descend to their level. Maybe things are turning around. "Ya think??

I don't have the gift of acerbic humor like most of you guys, but doggone it, it sure feels good to see liberals stand their ground for a change!

Warms my heart....yessiree!!!! :evilgrin:

[PROUDNWLIBERAL]

95. Let's Make A Trade

How about trading the tape for Cheneys energy list!

[Triana]

98. I suggest...

...we release the video of the frothing-at-the-mouth Republican in the newsroom on election night, November 2000 demanding "WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET YOU TO CALL IT FOR BUSH!"

...that we combine that with the photos of torture at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo, and Cheney saying "Go Fuck Yourself"

...the video of bu$hit making the statement that he 'goes after pussy' when he's not doing political work (from an interview a few years ago and I don't remember bu$hit's exact response but it was something of that nature)
