Talking Points

Maybe we can put the thing to rest with nary an amount of protest: I dare say politics at its best is but a popularity contest. Rule 1, always be in the top news and if attacked do not be nervous; remember that what it takes to win is a boundless talent to spin. Lie if you must, it’s perfectly okay, you can't last unless you're a phony, say you are a savior or something, sky’s the limit in politicking. Inexperienced? not a big problem! hire a tested media-savvy team; don’t worry about grasp on issues, just flip-flop to have a wider view. So what if you have no character? you know it does not really matter; what is required is to talk nonstop to rocket all the way to the top. Politics is no more than showbiz - TV interviews, talk shows and glitz; wait! charisma will do wonders too like it did for that monkey at the zoo.
