DUBY@ RE-T@LKS HIS TUFF T@LK

by Bill Costley


Taking back his having said "bring it on”
Dubya retalks his talkin’ for the re-cord:

“That was kind of tough talk, you know,
that sent the wrong signal to people. I learnt
some lessons about expressin’ myself, maybe
in a little more sophisticated manner –

you know, not 'wanted dead or alive,'
that kind of talk. I think in certain parts of the
world
it was misinterpreted, & so I learnt from that."


Bill Costley serves on the Steering Committee of the San Francisco chapter of the National Writers Union.
