Toronto Star Takes Shot @ US Politicians

The disdain for politicians is ubiquitous. While reading an article in the Toronto Star (of all places) about Roger Goodell, the new NFL commissioner, I found this gem:

Goodell is the son of a U.S. senator from New York, so he obviously was brought up learning to deceive people with a smile.

Wow! Son of a senator so he learned how to deceive. This is quite telling. There is nothing in Charles Goodell’s (his father) bio that indicates deception was common. Yet, the cheap shot is so easily taken.

Public service is no longer an honorable profession, it seems.

In context, the shot doesn’t even seem accurate. Despite Goodell “not saying anything”, he did not deceive the audience; he just didn’t indulge it.

Bah!
