- I'm sure the late night talk shows will heed and respect this detail, and not use it to mock Sen. Hatch further at all. -- nm - con_carne Aug 7, 09:50
- For prior generations, its an everyday term. To modern folks, it takes on a unfortunate connotation -- nm - budice Aug 7, 09:39 3
  - And since he's potentially also a dirty old man, he could also have meant it the modern way. :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 7, 09:41 1
    - he looks to me like one of those old men I see out in the field with shotguns, and I wonder if they should still have shotguns - crash davis Aug 7, 09:47
  - My musket is *mighty*. -- nm - Spawn Aug 7, 09:39
