Ah’m your Huckleberry …

So, there I was interviewing Idaho’s Dirk Tater, surrounded by his Merry Men and my gang of Editorial Writers, and I had to ask: Aren’t you going to be glad when you’re no longer guv’nah … and you can grow facial hair … and enjoy yourself. And what does he say, with a wink: Yeah, I could grow a pony tail, and jump on my motorcycle … (at that point, one of his advisers cleared his throat, and cocked his head toward me as if to say … guvnah, remember he’s a reporter … and nothing’s off the record) … and we returned to discussing his $1.6 billion plan to fix the U.S. 95 “goat trail” with GARVEE funds. I just wanted you to know that Old Blue Eyes enjoys letting his hair down at times.
