Did you hear the "Hotline" woman this morning? It sounds more than a bit fishy - OK, so the other woman also had an axe to grind, but the suggestion that whoever answers the phone tries to sell the caller the services of a firm which just happens to be run by the Hotliner's husband? Iffy to say the least.

I'm certain Gordy gets very bloody when his temper is aroused. But I imagine that is true of almost all politicians who make any headway up the greasy pole.
