Holy ****, Batman.....LOL...I just loved this line:


"When I use a word," Harry Reid? said, in rather a scornful tone, "it
means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."


This just reinforces my view on politics. My distaste has nothing to
do with Left, Right, Liberal, Conservative, Democrat or Republican...
but has everything to do with assholes and regular nice people. You
see, I don't care if Reid is a Dem...he's an asshole. Period.


It's an affliction, often contagious. Once you've danced with the Queen of
England or had dinner with the King of Siam, it's awfully hard to go back to
Left Elbow, Oklahoma and barbcued ribs at the local Rotary Club.

Further, the longer one serves, the more invulnerable the get, or at least
feel. Charlie Rangle and John Murtha are examples.

I heard a Baptist preacher once say: "You tend to marry those around you and
sometimes you're around the wrong people..."

The people back home are good people, but politicians usually don't spend
much time back home. One exception that comes to mind is Vice President
Biden. It was said that he took the train every weekend back to his home so
he could raise his three daughters. I don't think there's ever been a hint
of impropriety associated with Biden - and I think he was one of the least
affluent members of the Senate.


Just because the vice chief of plagiarism (I guess you don't see any
impropriety in that) treats his personal finances like he does the
national treasury, doesn't mean he's a worthy of any respect.
