 Comments about "Wayne Easter"
I am a big supporter of Wayne's [helping a little bit with constituency stuff] and have watched him with pride looking so capable and in control in reporters' scrums and on topics that he likely never planned to be in charge of.
Wayne seems pretty sharp (and I'm glad to know that my ears were not deceiving me re: "sec-e-tary of aggyculture").
POSTED DEC 18, 2002 AT 22:26 AST BY If Wayne is as sharp as the previous posts attest, he must see that his use of "security certificates" is a violation of human rights.
