So after bumping into Ollie North, were you ever able to get the stench out of your clothes?

Who was it made the quote about "usual suspects" just a few days ago? Besides, isn't he the Ollie North who was found Not Guilty?

I think you guys hate him just because he foxed your witch hunt.

Absolutely not! He was found guilty of committing three felonies (down from an original 7).

His guilt findings were vacated because he had immunity due to his Congressional Testimony. A vacated finding removes the court proceedings as if the trial never existed. So in no way can it be said that he was found Not Guilty. Legally he has not been tried yet (and never will stand trial for his crimes).

Yes indeed. He told stories to a Congressional delegation, and agreed to testify if they gave him immunity. He then went before Congress and told them he had lied to the delegation. They tried him for that, among other things, even though they had granted the immunity in the first place.

It was a witch-hunt to get Reagan, and North foxed them good. They screwed up, and have been whining about "getting off on a technicality" ever since.

Alleged crimes.

Yeah, why try to keep the executive branch in check.

And Ollie sure foxed them good, if by "foxed" you meant "lied to." A true American hero.

No, it was the opposition trying to squash a president they didn't like. Same as the Clinton impeachment, which to my mind was another useless witchhunt.

I covered that. Prove otherwise.

I have run into former Canadian prime ministers up here, met John Turner, Jean Chretien in the past and Paul Martin at a book launch a few months back.

Of course, things are looser in Canada, no security details for former PMs.

Early 09 I bumped into Beyonce in Greensboro NC. She stopped by a local mall and came through the basement mall office we were remodeling. I think she had a concert that night at the nearby coliseum. She had another rapper with her, can't recall his name. I didn't even know who she was. I got about 4ft from her as she leaned on the wall seemingly bored. I was then pushed back by her BG's and she went on. They caught one of my workers taking pictures with his phone and made mall security delete the pictures.

She was rather hot, even though I had no clue who she was.
