Why I could never be a U.S. senator
No, it's not because of the '90s.
It's because I don't think I have enough patience to put up with the kind of games that Ezra Klein describes in this post about Republican senators holding up progress on debating healthcare reform.

Michael, you are probably right about lacking patience for this kind of sorry grandstanding. Which makes me sad and angry because someone like you would be a great senator....and no, folks, I am not Torq's campaign manager!..
It is almost as though one must shed so much integrity along the way to becoming elected, that anyone who finally wins a seat is suspect.
It seems that so many candidates shed so much of their integrity on the way to being elected, that by the time they are sworn in, they are immune to the culture of corruption.
It's highly frustrating....and those who ought to be occupying senate seats should rightly be impatient with the processes that create a situation that is ungovernable.
Nice post Michael.
