"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

@blazerbanter 100% This is the team I love more than any other. I have no doubt that boomers were booing them when they returned to Portland, but I never did.
@jeffjarvis I didn't live through it, but I have read about it. LBJ dropped out because he didn't want to be assassinated like JFK. Chicago was a disaster because Eugene McCarthy was denied the nomination by the establishment and the reaction to this was met with violent force.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
