Whatever else they are, the re-appraisers have shown themselves to be dedicated, masterful political manipulators. Bluntly, they are better at it than we are. Kearon+ has played the game well and long. Part of that game is to "psych out" the other side, us, and we have seen how well that has worked over the past few years in terms of leaks, etc. Just keep in mind that the one thing such folks can't cope with is when people refuse to be taken in, or even play the game. The results of Lambeth 98 and DeS speak for themselves.
A good does a the right amount of cynicism. I must agree with their assessment of ++RW, Sept. 30 and +VGR and +Minns were probably on the off list for two years (those I'd expect +Minns on eleven months [*wink*]).

I love this stuff. Informative, yet snarkily entertaining.
It's the chai.

I guess sitting in CT adds a little perspective.
