Politics is a combat sport
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009
At every level, politics is a combat sport.  Even local politics. Maybe especially local politics. Combatants fight against each other using certain rules of engagement. It takes a thick skin and killer instinct to become real good at it.
That is why I like the words of recently departed Jack Kemp.
“Pro football gave me a good perspective. When I entered the political arena, I had already been booed, cheered, cut, sold, traded, and hung in effigy.â€
So long Jack. You were a role model how the game should be played.
