The Art of Legislating
-Well, for the ten thousandth time, the devil
is in the details.
-We’re the devils!
-Don’t get theological on me! Our fellows
rely on us to hammer out a deal.
-Just speaking to you is sacrilege, according
to a good many of my voters.
-Mine too, and we will rape their purity
once again this night.
-You’re a Catholic: you’ve got Confession.
I’ve just got elevated thought.
-Well, hold it down so we can talk.
-And as grimy as it all proves, our better angels
will drift in when we’re exhausted.
-I think we should belay the holy or infernal
imagery. We’re...sleazy car dealers in a seedy
part of town.
-My battered Ford and a thousand for your Chevvie!
-When we shake hands on that, we lift the neighborhood.

Two Old GOP Pros
-We win two governorships!
-No mystery. Pros ran campaigns.
-And lost a New York seat we’ve had since Civil War times.
-There we let ideologues thump their dicks on the table.
-Great formula! Bring outsiders in to hector the natives. And then wonder why they’re pissed.
-Purity is a loser. Always and everywhere.
-They’re claiming they really won.
-What? In the eyes of God? I go by returns.
-Oh well, Left has similar problems.
-Good! Let them all debate! Tour the country with competing sermons down their noses!
-Full of sound and fury.
-And signifying less than nothing! Like leaving a roomful of beauties to jerk off somewhere!
