1. Love Tommy...

A true (and funny) liberal I remember from my childhood.

2. Where was he a couple of years ago???

[pleah]

3. Love Tommy Smothers! He may have played the

dumb one, but he is really very smart. I use to love watching The Smothers Brothers Show.

4. Tommy is actually brilliant.

If you watched the Emmy's..he got a special, long-over due Emmy. The story behind it was very touching.
His writers on the show got an Emmy..and he had refused to put his name on the list of writers because he did not want to
kill their chances.
