Politicians...

...are rats - there, I've said it. If they ask you, you can say I did. And I stand by it. I've known it for years. Decades, maybe. It's an inherent mistrust, that may be inbred or inborn in any human with an IQ slightly above that of a potted plant. German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has asked for a vote of confidence...

That, dear reader, can only be asked from fellow politicians. Exclusively. Because ANY other human being having an intellect satisfying the requirement mentioned above, would not have to think about the reply to that question for more than a gazillionth of a split second, to come up with a loud, resounding, convinced and screaming "HELL, FUCKING NO! We DON'T have confidence in you!"

And - for all the Germans out there, reading this (ha, ha, as if anybody is reading here!) - it's pure coincidence that you get the heat here (as a country, nothing personal, mind you!), because this is the most recent example of politician stupidity or falseness in the area, so it's just tough luck.

Not that politicians deserve any kind of luck.

Well - he got what he wanted. Even his ratty colleagues and non-colleagues from the opposition said nope, njet, nada, non, NEIN!

How deep do you have to dig until you reach that much rock bottom?

Of course, most politicians hit rock bottom and THEN start digging. It's in their job description.

If you don't believe me, go and look it up. I'm sure you'll find it somewhere.
