I Rant Therefore I Am

I think if the next President is to learn anything from this whole episode, it's that he should be totally forthcoming with whatever dark secret he harbors, thereby completely defanging the rabid pack of partisan watchdogs nipping at his heels. You know, at this point I really believe that our entire nation actually would deify the first President who steps up to a podium, looks dead into a television camera, and says, "Folks, she blew me. As a matter of fact, she's blowing me right now. But enough about me. Let's talk about cutting yourrrrrrrr—AHH! taxes."
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
