> BobOh, there's some of that, but mostly whenever they act like you. As much as I like them and respect them, I don't think there's much idealization of the deputies as deputies, only as people. After all there're fundamentally one of us, despite how much they may act like you administratively. They disclose personal things, they laugh and cry with us - they even get pissed at you like us! Nope, Bob, a reply from you is still more special than one from a deputy no matter the content.
Despite how much I despise Chaney, it will always be W who I vilify the most. While he likely has little to do with the design and implimentation of his own administration's policies, they bear his name, so he gets the blame in my mind.
