A List
Gov. Phil Bredesen and Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell have been on a trade mission to Japan over the last week. Every day or so, sources on the trip have called us to relate what the mayor and governor have been saying to one another. Here are a few snippets:
Bredesen to Purcell: “Hey, do you believe in time travel?”
Purcell to Bredesen: “I noticed you took your seat belt off during the flight, even though the sign was still on. Nah-nah.”
Bredesen to Purcell: “Sometimes I look at you and I think Howard Dean.”
Purcell to Bredesen: “Are you really the anonymous donor of ‘Musica?’ ”
Bredesen to Purcell: “The more I get to know Harold Ford, the more I like the cut of his shoulders.”
Purcell to Bredesen: “Look, from one Yankee to another, do you call Sen. Henry ‘Doug’ or ‘Duck?’ ”
Bredesen to Purcell: “No, I didn’t say anything. You’re beginning to sound like Andrea.”
Purcell to Bredesen: “Is it just me, or are you getting a little tired of all those thank you notes from Gordon Gee?”
Bredesen to Purcell: “You sure can’t get crunchy shrimp rolls like these over in East Nashville, can you?”
Purcell to Bredesen: “So let’s say there’s another Survivor episode, and it’s either Cooley or Manning. I bet Cooley would flee like a scalded dog.”
Bredesen to Purcell: “Hey, buddy, you wanna sync our Pilots over the Pacific?”
Purcell to Bredesen: “Come on, admit it. Rebecca Paul threatens your manhood.”
