Lifeofthemind:

I have met many politicians. No great boast there and it doesn’t make me important, just a matter of time and place. By observation I am convinced that most are basically lazy slobs who have found a good way not to work. Joe Biden is the man whose photograph is in the dictionary when you look up “Pol.” PJ O’Rourk was correct, they are genuinely interested in people the same way fleas are genuinely interested in dogs.

As funny as PJ O’Rourke is as a political commentator, I wish he had kept his “day job” as a writer for National Lampoon.
