Re: Re: Whore Snore
Dahlia, Mrs. Chatterbox was right. I'm amazed, in fact, at the lengths we'll go to, to prove that these people's every gesture and utterance fits into some grand scheme. When five minutes in the Senate visitors' gallery should make plain that even when they have a script, our elected officials still manage to come out with more or less the same number of unfortunate slips as any of the rest of us. Sometimes, though this is not widely known, they say stuff just because they actually feel that way. And whenever anyone in public life does something because it's the right thing to do, we'll go through whatever contortions are required to explain how this was in fact a wily if exotic political play. Why are we so afraid to get caught out thinking these are real people? When if they weren't, they'd be no fun at all to write about.
