"Politicians" versus "Public Servants"
If I have to hear Tweety Matthews give HRC one more compliment
on being such a great "POLITICIAN" I'm going to scream. As of
today, he's even congratulating her on running a "GOOD CAMPAIGN".
(WTF? Remember after Super Tuesday?)

This is exactly the kind of system Obama is trying to change --
the system that rewards POLITICIANS and drives away potentially
great PUBLIC SERVANTS (think Al Gore). Yet the punditocracy is
in full blown orgasm over Hillary being able to "reinvent" herself
as a "local gal" in Pennsylvania, proving that she can adapt to
any situation ... meaning she's perhaps entitled to an Oscar,
but not the presidency.

The system needs to change so that we encourage more honest,
open PUBLIC SERVANTS to run, instead of just lauding chameleons
who are experts at changing their stripes.
