More of The Politician

I'm still reading The Politician. There is one funny part with Senator Ted Kennedy. Other than that, I am just making mental tick marks of all the things John Edwards did, that had I known about them, I would never have supported the guy back in the day. I did remember the moment I noticed him and decided he was a reach-across-the-aisle sort of senator. It was the Edwards-McCain Patients' Bill of Rights (that never passed).

Again, choices that affect his personal life aside, it is his engagement in an intricate cover-up that I think affects his credibility as President. The man looked ABC reporter Bob Woodruff in the eye and without an iota of guilt or hint of dishonesty, told him his own baby daughter was not his child. A better liar there never was. Cokie Roberts says she wants people to know politicians aren't all like that, but I don't know. Most of them have the power to do what they want to.

Eh. I won't go on. I hate to start my day delving into my political disillusion.

I wish something interesting had happened yesterday. Alas! I was at home all day, doing laundry and working on websites. I did have a "small world" moment, when I found out one of the guard moms is friends with one of my friends, an old coworker from 1993. Their daughters are in the same grade in middle school.

You know you want this song in your head all morning---
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small small world.

You're welcome.
