During an IM conversation with hejira2006, this popped out of nowhere:
FRANKLIN: “That John Adams is one bad motherf—”
JEFFERSON, BARTLETT, and LIVINGSTON: “Shut yo mouth!”
FRANKLIN: “I’m just talkin’ about John Adams!”
DICKINSON: “He’s a complicated man, and no one understands him…”
WILSON: “But his woman?”
DICKINSON: No, seriously. *No one* understands him”

Franklin seems like the kind of person who just might have said the 18th century equivalent about Adams.
Adams, OTOH, was far too anal-retentive to appreciate it.

Just out of curiosity (and because I’m like that), why Bartlett? (I would have expected Sherman.)
Rob Wynne
Er, brain fart on my part, to be hoenst. It should have been Sherman.
