The President and the Press
Our political leaders have survived in mud, double-speak and cover-ups to protect their power. They would have us believe they have risen above the wallow when they poke their heads out of the slime to secure our favor during an election year. It is the nation’s great sadness that we keep electing these nihilists and rascals. Our great joy is that the nation survives in spite of them.
Despite his flaws, I’m casting my ballot for Perot. He, at least, speaks with candor.
