Don’t Let the Door Hit You in the Butt

There are 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen in Washington, D.C. to guard our democracy and our people. Two of them have resigned this week due to an apparent lapse in their moral make-up which allegedly resulted in improper sexual behavior. It sounds like they got carried away by their ascent to a privileged class of the hierarchy and were corrupted by the power of their positions. What could have gone on in their heads?  “I won the election, so I must be a fantastic guy? A sweet thing like you deserves a pat on the butt from a terrific guy like me?” Or something like that?  And it goes on from there? However it transpired, abusing one’s power is disgusting.

Will there be consequences for their actions? Probably not enough. They may lose their salaries. I heard one news person say that they will not keep their retirements. What about their participation in the world’s greatest health plan? As an employer of these guys, I feel betrayed and cheated. They were playing footsy rather than taking care of our country’s business. Let’s hope we can find some patriots of good moral character to relieve them.

With a pool of 330 million to work from, we can hopefully come up with a few better patriots.
