Argumentum ad crumenam;
The commentary didn't beat about the bush much (he smiled momentarily at the double entendre.) The fifth chapter got right to his campaign platform. He re-read it with a different purpose in mind; Nope, it wouldn't exactly break the budget either - failed as a communicator though; his audience was the old "eye for an eye," crowd. This radical "seek the best interest of the country and only kill the BAD enemies" was radical stuff! It was a little like watching the movie Titanic, but in the horror genre. You knew what happened in the end, but instead of any lip-service to historical record, these heroes did ALL the wrongs things just when you hoped they wouldn't. It would take a _Very_ liberal campaign manager to attempt to learn anything from _this_ one! Hollywood could definitely improve on it - in the movies everybody was beautiful and happy, just like in the ads, and the good guys always win! He reflected on his Aunt's observation that "nice guys finish last." Coming from her, it had had quite a different connotation. Hmmm.... she probably had meant for him to get the message.
