When I was a boy, members of Congress from both parties, along with their families, would routinely visit our home for dinner or the holidays. This type of social interaction hardly ever happens today and we are the poorer for it. It is much harder to demonize someone when you know his family or have visited his home. Today, members routinely campaign against each other, raise donations against each other and force votes on trivial amendments written solely to provide fodder for the next negative attack ad. It’s difficult to work with members actively plotting your demise.
Screw you. You know what? You are still a boy. This whole piece is utterly disgusting.
It is a major triumph for the senate and democratic governance generally that it was able to drive this complete f%^king tool from its ranks. May others heed the call as well.
