Only if it is the Democrat. If it is the Republican, stand by for flowers
and
poetry.

Hee hee! Ahem, not true.

Actually, the VERY NEXT DAY I was in Green Bay, WI, when Senator Herb Kohl
(D-WI) arrived at the FBO. (True, another Democrat, but that's completely
beside the point.)

He had no security at all, and precisely one lady waiting for him -- who
took SERIOUS umbrage with me railing on about Senator Edwards in particular,
and Congress in general, after my nasty little encounter with the Edward
Campaign the day before in Des Moines.

When I spouted that line about how "Edwards ain't NOTHING worth
protecting -- yet" she puffed up as big as a turkey and haughtily pronounced
"WELL, he IS a sitting U.S. Senator...!"

To which I caustically responded "...Which means he works for THE PEOPLE,
right?"

She thereupon fell completely silent, and turned away.

Honestly, the political class -- on BOTH sides of the aisle -- are getting
waay too big for their britches. In this regard Martin Hotze is absolutely,
100% correct when he says "They are POLITICIANS, for chrissakes, and they're
a dime a dozen."

(Did hell just freeze over? I just agreed with Martin on something! :-)
