Spin and Scorn

The spin stops here.

Last night I wasted a considerable portion of my prime time TV viewing watching the shenanigans on CNN (6PM to 8PM PST). With the exception of possibly Bernie and the Marine, I haven’t heard so much spin and scorn in one sitting, in my life. My head was twisting so fast it nearly fell off my head.

One of the candidates was asked, “You are a very wealthy individual, how can you convince voters that you understand the plight of the Middle Class?” The answer immediately spewed forth. “We haven’t always been rich, and I am proud of the hard work that we have done to create our wealth.” Really? With all the righteous indignation the candidate could muster, we were treated to a sermon on the rewards of honesty and a hard work ethic. I think even Sidney was squirming. I got up and made a drink, this was crazier than I thought it would be.

One of the candidates, under two or three current investigations for questionable conduct while in office found a scapegoat fall guy to blame for every single one of the allegations. Those !@#$#@! Republicans. With a smile and linguistic precision the candidate blamed the last seven years and everything that has gone wrong on the !@#$#@! Republicans. It was so convincing I hung my head in shame. How could I possibly align myself with such a callous, mean and despicable political party. I snapped out of my funk quickly when I remembered what I was watching, and got up for another drink.

It’s only the beginning folks, we have another year of this to swallow. A good thing to remember comes from a chapter in Charles Krauthammer’s book “Things That Matter” (a super read BTW). He proposes that we should listen closely to all of the candidates and their bantering back and forth, smearing eachother with the worst of the worst, and remember that the day after the election, one of those creeps has managed to become your President. Spine chilling isn’t it.
