As someone that has been very impressed by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand...
I'd take the native New Yorker - gifted with a great intellect, class, basic manners, a positive record and style versus the guy [Talk about opinionated... What about what the constituents might want?] with a seemingly arrogant, locked-in-a-box, rude and obnoxious (my impressions, based on this video) side, any day!
Let's not eat our own toes...
Let's not take the elevator back down [referring to the Bush Jr. era] to the sewer...
Beware of stinky feet and anything that even slightly resembles [by word or by action...] a "golem"! [I'm thinking of the movie, "The Hobbit" ("Lord of the Rings"; JRR Tolkien) --- but "Webster's New World College Dictionary" (4th Ed.) defines a "golem" (in part) as a "a human being artificially created by cabalistic rites" (P. 610)].
NS
Addendum: Between the Far Left Liberals and the Far Right Conservatives [of whatever political party or parties they claim affiliation with...] I believe there is a happy medium...
Was I tough on Mr. Ford here? Yes.
Do I view him as an extremist - thus provoking an extreme (unusual) response from me? Yes.
Is extremism of any kind what we want to see take root (my apologies for the "golem" comment...) in America?
Let's hope - collectively - not.
