Thank you for your comments, Trib. Hill, but I don't think secret flaws have any place in politics. Politicians are quite remarkably the only people who can — AND HAVE — dealt with problems of the Republic. Secret flaws are something mythological and quite likely tragic. Do you see anything tragic going on around you? Okay...yes, I'll grant it. If there wasn't any tragedy going on, then WHY THE HELL WOULD I BE UP HERE TALKING AND TRYING TO WIN THEIR VOTE?! *Motions toward audience*
I can't tell you why we've got these tragedies going on, but that whole "secret flaw" — *waves animatedly* — idea is simply placing the blame in the wrong place. The Trib. from TX — *points at Travis* — is simply trying to make us all look bad. But we're the few, the perfect, the leaders of this fine Republic.
And let's be honest, I'm the most perfect of them all.
Just check out my tie.
It's perfect too.
