It's also the fault of voters because they don't pay attention. And of the personal memoirs press because we don't do a good job. I personal memoirs don't have clean hands. Ordinarily, a personal memoirs book like mine will have solutions. I don't have any. The other day, I was talking to a group of people at a Chicago library. Somebody asked me about the book's pessimistic tone. I said, "You know, if anyone is remotely suicidal, they shouldn't read it."There are funny parts, and I enjoyed it. But, yes, it's kind of a downer.It's supposed to be. The people we're electing are terrible.In your book, your political writing is all about "judgment and detachment." Is it necessary to be detached?I think it is. You have to understand other people's point of view and not be judgmental, and, yes, you have to have the judgment in a different sense. |

Can you tell me about that?Yeah, I'll give you an example. We had this big argument in the press about whether John Kerry had thrown away medals or the ribbons or the pins or both. We know he was the leader of the anti-war movement 30 years ago. Since then, he's had 20 years of public policy. Why was that important? Nobody's going to vote because of the medals.You say Americans get what they deserve.It |
