However, when he says that he's offended that he could be bought for *only* 5k, doesn't that imply he *could* be bought for more? I don't see how that particular "defense" of his is a good one.

      - Pretty much. I'd have loved it if he shot back at Bachman the sound science behind the decision, though. (nm) - musubi Sep 13, 11:23
