Distressed

I don't really have anything to add to Richard Cohen's 'How's This for Satire?' article from the Washington Post.  Blurb below, but the entire article is encapsulates my thoughts on Washingtonian politics.

This country has a bunch of fools for leaders. Almost daily, they flock to one press availability or another, yakking spin at us all. They hurl press releases back and forth, like kids throwing spitballs at one another, trudging from one photo-op to another and never neglecting to invoke "the American people" to justify their own selfish interests. If the fraudulent phrase, "Frankly I don't think the American people . . . " was banned in Washington, the town would fall mute and long-extinct birds would return. Just banning "frankly" alone would do wonders.
