You've given them enough already. It's time to scrape them off of your wingtips, and open yourself up to some real money.

As your folks used to say, � ���"You can have your cake and eat it too.� �� �

Just call a press conference and say something like, � ���"Upon further study, I now believe an efficient, government-run health insurance choice (don't say � ���"public option� �� �) can be cost-effective, and is in the best interest of Americans.� �� � You might even get Olympia Snow to go along with you, who knows?

With those few words, Mercenary Max becomes a statesman.

Sure, there will be many nasty calls from health care lobbyists, but what do you care? You don't need them. As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, you're the top poodle in town.

Anyhow, I hope I didn't come on too strong with this thing. And I'm sure you know that I'm only looking out for your welfare, my old chum. And, by the way, I know you're a busy boy of late, but if you have a few seconds give me a call. I've got a couple friends from Exxon I'd like you to meet.

Take care,

Russ Buchanan
