I have finally figured out how this politics racket works. First of all you have to be a low down, no good, scum bag, lying, cheating, witless, sneaky, slime covered pitiful excuse for a human being (did I miss anything in that one?). Once you get there you have to be sure to make being a politician a calling that no self respecting human being would ever subject himself or his family to. That means you gotta sling mud and filth all over your opponents. Of course, to real politicians that slime and filth is the mother's milk of life, a veritable breeze of fresh air. Then you gotta go to Hollywood and find some very famous people who want to be viewed as relevant or perhaps even sound intelligent. So you tell them they sound intelligent if they get up in front of a crowd and fling F bombs (Barbara Streisand and Whoopi Goldberg are SO articulate!) at politicians, particularly Republicans. Then you go to New York and kiss ass at the New York Times and CBS, NBC and ABC, making sure you stop by Chris Matthew's office for an invective filled discussion about why the president is an idiot in the hope that Chris wants you to repeat the performance on his TV show. Now that you have the ball rolling you just keep it moving along by releasing something provocative to the media so that your name gets Googled all the time. See, it's easy!
