It is said that a nation gets the leaders it deserves. If so, please pray fervently that we deserve better than these. The Tunnel Dweller
One foolish remark and a presidential candidate is toast . . . "Good old Joe is not the first politician to say something he thought was clever, or learned, and committed suicide, or something close to it, like losing election to the White House. Sometimes one remark that should never have been said is all it takes to consign the unwary to a forgotten footnote to a presidential campaign." . . .
The key is sincerity and honesty; if you can fake that you can make it anywhere. TD |
"The trouble with America is the white man, good old Joe said. The political culture of centuries of dreadful white men in charge has encouraged violence against women, and Joe knows why.
" 'It’s an English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture,” he said, “and it’s got to change.” He did not specify which of the bedrock items of the “English jurisprudential culture” he wants to throw away. The right of a trial by jury? The principle that a suspect is innocent until proved guilty? That, barring exceptional circumstances, a criminal trial must be open to the public? Must all these rights, bought by the blood of patriots, be trashed to make it up to the angry #MeToo ladies abused by a politician’s wandering hands?" . . .
