OT:Buzzie and the suit
To all you socialists,Harry Rosen is now acceptable for you since I just saw "Buzzie" Hargrove in there picking up a new blue suit. Their blue suits start at over 1K.
I wonder if he was on his coffee break as it was 3:30 PM;he did look pretty casual, so maybe he was just taking a mental health day.
I wonder how all those members he "Buzz" sawed must feel; particularly since Li did not ask for those further cuts he gave back to support the current deal.
I also note he did not take a salary cut with his members like RM did?

as much as I think "union leadership" is an anachronism from the 19th century, give it a break.
Are you telling us that a guy doesn't have the freedom to dress smartly?
How he chooses to spend his money is his business, not yours. chee.

I guess cutting back to a $1,000 suit..... was that moderation?

Was it Buzz who was caught a few years ago wearing a Rolex? Much hand-wringing much like this thread about how he chooses to spend his money, until it was discovered (love those investigative journalists) that it was a farewell gift from the membership of his previous union.
$1000 doesn't sound like so much for a good suit, if someone represented me on TV I'd want him to look presentable.

I said prices start at over $1000 in that store and go upwards of $2000. I didn't see his bill but it looked like a very nice suit.

Is this parnel being objective yet again?
Why not shuffle on down to the local ND offices parnel and check out what those lefties are wearing? If you/re not back in 2 hours, we'll send SH out to look for you, next week.

No I would call that subjective because the object in question is one person and his phoney ideals. Its obvious you can't tell the difference.

You may not like the guy, but taking a cheap shot at him for what he's wearing is right up there with Todd Bertuzi, parnel. Maybe you should've beaten some sense into him when you had the chance!
I also doubt you'd tolerate any discussion of what RM is wearing and where he shops, which is what I was meaning about your supposed objectivity.

Quit your whining...Buzz is an ******* and I've been saying it for some time now; so why do you choose this piece to come after me.
RM is an executive who makes $1MM a year while Buzzie the union thug pretends to care for his members who he screwed by getting all the other unions to go against the Li deal which was better for the unions in terms of pay checks. Buzzie has not taken a pay cut in sympathy with his members.
So where is the cheap shot other than the one you are taking at me...as I said there was no intent to be objective with this thread nor was I not meaning to compare Buzzie to Milton. Its a straight out attack on him and his tactics.
Todd Bertuzzi hit a guy from behind...I'm right up front about my thoughts and if he wants to come on FT and debate me I'll be here.
Maybe you need to learn the Todd Bertuzzi lesson

So who's whinning now? You take a cheap shot at Buzz and then whine about me taking a run at you. Jeez, make up your mind! What--you can give 'em but you just can't take 'em? And while hardly a cheap shot, I'm simply taking you to task about this way OT thread which you started. You're not the only one who can be up front with their thoughts, you know. Or is that's what's got your goat--that I don't mind the debate and won't slink away like others you try to shout down when you don't agree with them? And, please, Buzz come on FT? Why then you'd begrude him having a computer!
That we disagree on lots of things parnel should be obvious. But at least you're consistent in your inconsistency!
