That's exactly what I once did with James P. Moron when I lived in
Arlington. Told the screener I wanted to talk about unfunded
mandates, which James P. said he is totally opposed. When I got him
on the phone I started talking about the Brady Bill. (which btw
was the largest unfunded mandate in history at the time)
James P. was furious but I did manage to get about five minutes
air time before he hung up on me. Heh..heh....
