Only the guy from Annenberg said it, publically, <br>  <br> at a USC Emeriti meeting, and the other guy would not say, Boo! - <br>  <br> even if he wasn't a Dem. <br><br> --For the Struggle, BHQ!\n","contact":"r001806@pen2.ci.santa-monica.ca.us","link":"","address":"3032 Exposition #C, Santa Monica 90404","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Bsn DNC!","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2000\/08\/641.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
