The Political Debates

Nancy and I watched the debates last night. All of the candidates attitude reminded me of the words of the great political observer David Brinkley. Even Bob Dole admitted in his book, "Brinkley calls them like he sees them, and minces no words - as can be seen in his observation that 'Washington D.C. is a city filled with people who believe they are important."

And while I don't like quoting Gary Hart, after watching the debates I just can't help myself. Hart's idea was; "What ought to happen in this country to even things out? Reporters ought to have to run for office. Politicians ought to have to write political stories."
