In article <1992Oct9.003614.3996@spectra.com>, johnson@spectra.com (boyd
johnson) says:
>What about Magic's present irresponsibility and what would he know about
>Bush's current perceived irresponsibility?
>Of the six meetings of the AIDS commission Magic only attended one.
>He didn't even stay for all of that one!
>(reference a newspaper article earlier this week)

OK,you may have a point about his not showing up,but the point of Jim Best's
quote (unless he _was_ commenting about Magic's no-shows,in which case he'd
have a point) was to insinuate that Magic couldn't criticize Bush's perceived
irresponsibility vis-a-vis AIDS policy because _he_ had messed around to the
point of contracting HIV himself. In other words,if Best was making a criti-
cism based on Magic's past sexual irresponsibility,that sort of criticism
seems a bit dense as Magic will have to pay for that behavior for the rest of
his life. If he was criticizing the no-shows,fine.

Damn. I should've known I'd have to read that other post that Best wrote to
find out the context of the shorter one.... >:(
