Fair enough. For the record, I was making a joke about a media figure's bombastic style and saying nothing about his or anyone's politics. Didn't think I was in danger of crossing the political line by making fun of a TV personality but I guess since he covers political topics, it's reasonable to be construed this way. I was just looking for a way to slip the play on words in anyway. Judging by the reaction, my gut for where the line is was off a little, so I took an abrupt turn back to the OP's question. Cheers
