I lifted this from Kyle Veazey's excellent blog over at the Jackson Clarion-Ledger's website.Here is the section I enjoyed:
The final question posed to Miles today was whether he approved of the government's multi-billion dollar bailout of the financial industry.
No, really, it was. I kid you not. I can only hope, and I do surmise, given the laughter I heard in the room, that there's an inside joke here that we out-of-staters are missing.
But, Miles answered. "I turn most of those matters over to my wife, to be honest with you," he said. "I think there's some real concern about our national issues and making sure that our country continues to grow and thrive. I don't think anybody's paycheck absolves them from interest and want for the best of our country. I'm a free market guy, always have been, not irrespective of paycheck. I've always felt like the government should be less involved, and this may be the exception."
I really like that guy.
Miles looks like he's giving his George W. Bush impersonation in that photo.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
That's from his classic "Have a GREAT day" speech at the 2007 SEC championship game.
ReplyDelete"The Mad Hatter" strikes again
ReplyDeleteWhen you can't honestly answer a question, just muffle out something that nobody will understand in hopes that everyone listening will forget the question was ever asked.
ReplyDeleteBe Castanza.
Oh.
Otis doesn't really think any of us buy it that Chris Todd can actually pose a threat running the football does he? I mean, 3 sneaks against LSU for less than 10 net yards...
That doesn't exactly strike fear into the masses.
I don't get the "Otis" reference.
ReplyDeleteEnlighten me.
TF is just Otis. Scruffy, ratty hair. Beer belly. Pants dipping below the top of the butt crack. Kind of the affectionate, middle-ageed, drunk guy at the bar look. Otis just comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteJay, is Tristan hurt again? He was slow on that kick off returns. I noticed he was pulled and I was sort of glad. He isn't Þhe guy he was in '06. New blood is necessary.
ReplyDeleteDid Harry Adams redshirt?
Otis ... from The Andy Griffith Show.
ReplyDeleteOtis was also the town drunk on Andy Griffith. That's probably where it came from.
ReplyDeleteWow. Talk about timing.
ReplyDeleteAndy always has to put him in jail for public drunkenness and he's always apologizing to Andy.
ReplyDeleteIs that what you don't get? Or what?
Jay,
ReplyDeleteUA fans have dubed CTF a Otis look alike from Andy Griffith Show....
snarky ... I like that word. I think I am going to start using it.
ReplyDeleteActually, Otis would put himself in jail to sleep one off. But that's neither here nor there.
ReplyDeleteyou're right ... and that's even more similar.
ReplyDeleteAnd Saban looks like Henry Winkler, and maybe even shorter. Their OC looks like a gopher. I look like an asshole at the game Saturday as the last tick fell off the clock.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I talked to the ownder of All Pro Sound about the poor audio sound at the game. He's working on fixing it.
ReplyDeleteSincerely,

I'm at the interview session right now.
ReplyDeleteSpencer Pybus was first up ... said he had no scholarship offers two weeks before signing day last year. Then came North Alabama (10 days to go), Duke (one day to go) and Auburn (23 hours, 55 minutes).
Funny how it works sometimes.
Thanks for sharing that. Who knew Miles was such a deep economic thinker.
