The Senator and His Critic
-Let me put it to you this way. If you're three-quarter
owner of a small company in a little town, and some
of the citizens have bought in, do you go around the
tables at the annual celebratory banquet and
insult your partners?
-So, you're corrupt.
-I swing with the system, not heroically but...
-The best Congress money can buy!
-That's glib. Money doesn't buy me but gets my ear.
-Uh huh. And then you do what the big boys whisper?
-Well that's often because they write the laws.
Ones I submit are things of beauty. Compiled by
legal geniuses, not ham-and-eggers.
-The aesthetics of treachery.
-Look, this is a burg of circling knives. To do the good I do--
and there is some...
-Accidental.
-I hafta keep one of em outa my back!
-You have many counterparts on the other side.
-But their platform is bananas. Not that anybody cares.
-Those are merely ideas. Money is not an idea. It has a palpable stink.
-Aroma is the word.
