as far as the discussions with dimitry medvedev, i have been involved in negotiations. the way they work when heads of state work, it's all predetermined. they will chat and talk about this and that, but the documents are already written. what obama needs, badly, is a foreign policy success, and so you saw that staged signing ceremony yesterday, because he has had one foreign policy problem after another. he wants so badly -- and by the way, i think he desperately needs adulation. he needs the limelight. he is a vampire that doesn't live on blood but lives on applause. he desperately wanted something, the result of which we gave in to the russian position of the russian strategic framework for negotiating nuclear arms reductions, and in return we got a russian agreement to buy more hamburger. not a good deal, judge. andrew: oh, boy. if you need more evidence that Ñ andrew: a federal jury today saw an f.b.i. video showing louisiana congressman will william jefferson accepting a suitcase filled with $100,000 in cash outside a northern virginia hotel, a key piece of eviden
