You are the Irish Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey and your country is falling apart in the 2010 ice age and you are quoted in the Sunday Independent speaking from the airport in Malta, temperature 90 degrees,where you have spent the last week on vacation. And you are saying that you were always in control of the situation.....
You are the Democratic candidate for Ted Kennedy's seat in Massachusetts and the two latest polls show you behind against an unknown Republican opponent. Martha Coakley had assumed the race was over after winning the Democratic primary -- big mistake.....
You are Harry Reid the senate majority leader and a new book quotes you as referring to Barack Obama as a 'light skinned' negro....
You are Bill Clinton and in the same book you are quoted as making a derisive comment to Ted Kennedy that Obama would have fetched the coffee a few years ago.
