[Leica] Skinny Tele-Elmarit M Syndrome

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (Buzz Hausner)]

So, you've met them, too, Ted!  Advance men...I've never met an advance
woman...make all political campaigns look bad.  Advance men suffer from
"Skinny Tele-Elmarit M Syndrome" and should be avoided by all members of
the media.

I have been intimately involved in one presidential campaign...the year
was 1988 and guess on which side I served...and have been close to
several others.  I have also spent a great deal of time with people
under Secret Service protection.  It is my experience that the Secret
Service is exceptionally well trained, discrete and polite but firm.
They learned well the lessons of Dallas.

stoic and not prone to shouting.  My guess is that in the Clinton case
you
ran afoul of an Advance Man, an entirely different breed that, due to
self-importance, is prone to demonstrate HIS superiority over YOU
through an
emotional outburst.  Since the advance men love to act important, they
often
imitate Secret Service agents in their outward appearance and
demeanour.<<<<<<<<

Hi Buzz,
Advance men!!!! Advance self important ass h....s  is more like it! :-(

They think they're really someone when in reality there nobodies! But
think
they are and try to make it look like they are the security police. I've
seen them create more problems with crowds than the real secret service
guys
and gals assigned to the protection of whomever the political or regal
celebrity is.
