MORE ON BOB & BARRY

(Barack Obama's friends call him Barry, apparently.)

Sarah had just dug out for me the quote about him that Dylan gave to The Times in June, and I was about to post it here, when blog reader Lee Morgan posted in the same quotation in a thoughtful comment. It's in the comment section below the posting OR WAS HE BEING GENTLY CYNICAL? I agree with Lee (and indeed with Bob).
