What's with this president cult. He's just another human being.
- wmeredith 13y agoYeah, that solicited a WTF in my head when I read it.
- logfromblammo 13y ago"And when I licked those hands, they tasted like sweet apples and flaky pastry, just the way Mom used to make her pies." I can't stand seeing the political shams where the VIP comes in and pretends to be an ordinary person talking to other ordinary people. Of course, there is also that schadenfreude when they utterly fail to pull it off. But I don't blame the politician; that's just what they're made to do: I blame the journalist. Rather than summarize the meaningless show of a politician gladhanding and baby-kissing his way through an audience, his hands felt like a baseball--your favorite baseball, because a true American would own several. Really? Are you sure it wasn't more like the soft leather from well-worn bootstraps, lightly marked by salt stains acquired while walking the wintry streets of Chicago's south side? Ridiculous. It's just as bad as Bush Jr. trying to pull the Texas good ol' boy schtick and the media egging him on. I want my watchdog back, even if he's jingo yellow, not a toothless yappy lapdog.
