0826 Corrupt Govs
970 WBLF. I’m Wes Richards with some thoughts on picking a president.
Early detection is the gold standard of treatment. Cancer, Diabetes, many other dread diseases often can be stopped, slowed or even reversed if you catch them early enough.
Same with corruption, also a disease. So today, we have a tale of two governors one from each major party, with early detection benefits.
Andrew Cuomo, D-NY disbanded an anti corruption commission he created when it started looking into the executive branch.
Rick Perry R-TX vetoed funding under similar circumstances.
So, one high profile governor from each party is in the hotseat with early detection and early diagnosis. And neither appears ready to put himself in the hands of a competent medical professional.
Perry has been indicted on charges of abuse of power. This puts his future in doubt. Perry isn’t Einstein. Cuomo isn’t either but comes closer. It doesn’t matter. Smart arrogant and stupid arrogant still are arrogant.
Aside to Mario Cuomo: Talk to your kid. Teach him to respect reality.
Aside to Rick: Game over. The details of the case against him have to do with his handling of a drunk driving charge against a local district attorney.
These are two potential candidates for president. The problems of one do not cancel out the similar problems of the other. What they do is further the impression that the political party system as it stands isn’t too steady on its feet.
But not just the impression, the fact.
We deserve better in a president than we’ve been getting since, say, 1968.
On the bright side, it’s better that we know what we’re dealing with now instead of after the Nixon scandal, the Ford bumbling, the Carter incompetence, the Reagan cheerleading sleepiness, the first Bush wars, the Clinton pants scandal, the other Bush wars and the spineless Obama.
But only slightly better, though maybe we know enough not to give either of these guys a chance at the top job.
I’m Wes Richards. My opinions are my own but you’re welcome to them. ®
