Please ask your "Are you Firstname Lastname?" question by 6pm EST tomorrow.

I thought Scrowcroft was part of W's NSA, advising on the Iraq invasion.

Time to ponder.

I have a thought, though I'm unsure his exact name:

Are you Rhett Butler's brother?

Checking Wiki, I see Scowcroft was an advisor to GWB, although arguably not a "key" advisor. But I'll give it to you.

Since you don't know his name (Frank, maybe?), I'll just tell you, I am not Rhett Butler's brother.

Take another actual-name guess.

Looks like Rhett had a younger brother, but Mitchell (and the movie) never named him: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhett_Butler

Thanks! I knew it was wrong because the movie was <WillFerrell>Based on the book "Gone With the Wind<WillFerrell>

This will require some thinking!

WRT 18: yeah, it's (GWTW) an iffy movie for kids

Yes, probably too long and melodramatic for most kids. FWIW, the movie I have in mind is, I think, generally considered more kid-friendly than GWTW.

I was thinking more the sexual themes and the Burning of Atlanta being graphically depicted.

Also true.

Correct on the first two (although Pat Leahy of Vermont is the seniormost Senate Dem now, and would've become President pro tem again, as he was once before); the third is Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) in the very funny political satire Dave.

I spent a year on Dukakis's national field staff, serving in New Hampshire, Vermont, New Jersey, Michigan and Ohio, and at the 1988 Democratic Natl. Convention in Atlanta. I met him a couple of times, including when I interviewed for the job.

YES! I am MIKE DEAVER! Well done!

Actually, Mike Deaver is not the answer to any of those three. Those were Ken Duberstein, Donald Regan and Sam Donaldson.

Duh! He was deputy chief of staff! You would have figured it out anyway.

Watching "Maddow", the guy with Deaver's old job tried to rig retirement laws and he would've gotten away with it if it weren't for the pesky NYT! :)

I tell you, the NYT is worse than the Scooby Gang!
