You probably wonder what it takes to be a politician. You see a lot of them on TV, but what do they all have more than you?
I’ll try to reply to this interesting question in an interesting attempt to show how easily can a politician discredit himself/herself.
First, take a country where people are not really used to know what happens outside their country. Yes, United States of America is a good choice, given it’s a know fact that most people there have a funny way to understand world’s geography.
Now, let’s take at random some politician from this country (yeah, this process is totally random… or maybe not?) and see what it recently told (yeah, from now on, I’ll use it to refer at people from politic mass).
So, it told about how it was attacked by some siper when arriving in Bosnia, at Tuzia.
Let’s quote a bit thanks to the BBC…
“I remember landing under sniper fire,” it said.
“There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.
“But it was a moment of great pride for me.”
So, I guess that even without looking at the BBC article you guessed what it takes to be a good politician…
Yeah, right, you need to be able to tell lies the size of a country. Don’t worry, even if someone finds out it’s a lie, you can easily save yourself like that :
“I did mis-speak the other day. You know this has been a very long campaign laughs so occasionally I am a human being like everybody else.”
So yeah, it didn’t lie, it mis-spoke …
What it mis-something was to mistake its own country’s video cameras as something else, and think nobody in USA would know about what really happened.
Now I guess most human beings would not, even after a very long campaign, take pride in something that never happened.
I feel sorry for the little girl who had to read a poem this day at the airport. And I feel sorry for all the people who felt sorry as it told this blatant lie.
Don’t be so arrogant as to think a sniper may want you dead, and don’t be so arrogant as to compare yourself to human beings.
Stay tuned for a future release of a book by Hillary Clinton, the art of making up lies the size of a country.
Now, return to your current occupation to try to become the main puppet of this world-sized puppet show called politics. Just try to remember that human beings may be forgiving, but sometimes simply do not want.
By the way, if you are american, you are welcome to reply to this post, and flame me back, I’ll flame you happily. Oh and don’t try to flame telling French politics are bad, I don’t like it either… but thanks god I’m not american (quote from some picture, try to remember it and flame).
