I earn my living as a telephone operator, and I'm beginning to pick up disturbing signs that the national character is beginning to follow that of the President, much as President Billy Jeff Clinton affected opinions as what did and did not qualify as having sex (usually with someone, but the Joycelyne Elders-recommended type, too). Specifically, I've noted three trends lately:
My callers are expending more and more words to get nowhere in particular, just like BO.
They are not listening to what I or other people say to them, just like BO.
They are willing to lie without hesitation or remorse, or even an awareness that their lies are completely implausable, just like BO.
God help us.
