Rarely is such a clash seen outside the bonds of Holy Matrimony. In fact, some of the drama and dialogue was similar to the Fightin’ Flanigans. If only personal insults had been thrown along with a rolling pin the picture would have been complete. I’m assuming of course, that either Ed or Dylan would have been wearing curlers and a flannel robe.
Ratigan whose cup was kept half empty could find nothing commendable in the plan, calling it ‘a dud for both sides.’ Ed maintained that great change cannot be accomplished overnight. Ratigan by now dancing on Ed’s last nerve, refused to cede that a plan – any good plan is better than leaving it to the party whose stated goal is for Obama’s plan to fail and which furthermore has no plan of their own. This is blindness on Ratigan’s part that I cannot understand. However I do understand Ed’s frame of mind, when at one point he stated hotly, "I gotta go back and do my radio show, I’m not going to be interrupted by Dylan," and ended his participation in the segment of which I have only touched upon lightly .
