Oh how the observations of the most obscure of us can sum up the whole of the problem...
I am not absorbed by the desperate protestations of a closeted law-giver, but I succumbed to temptation and read the transcript of the late great senator's confrontation with truth.
In the end, the law-keeper says it all.
The scandal itself is minimal in the wider Order of Things, but in the background is the spirit true to both the confronted senator and the lofty Leader of the Free World. The spirit pervades the world today and stains me and my enemies alike.
A man declines to tell the truth to those who know the truth perfectly.
Embarrassing.
A man should be more than one who denies the clear truth. He should stand up and shout all truth, and especially the truth that is not so easy to see.
Embarrassing when he does not.
No wonder we're going down the tubes.
