Bob Yearik was kind enough to include me along with a bunch of other luminaries (like that goddam idiot from Caesar Rodney Institute, “Doctor” John Stapleford) in this Delaware Today piece about Governor Markell. Yearick does a pretty good job collecting a bunch of puzzle pieces but never really tries to fit them together. So, what the hell? I’ll put them together here.
The thing about Jack Markell is this – he is a politician, so he is bound to disappoint you. That’s just the way it goes. Politicians disappoint. It is the way of the world. Hopefully they wont disappoint you continually, or one something big, but disappointed you will be. Go ahead and work for them, given them money and facebook “likes” if you think they are slightly better than the other guy, but don’t do it thinking you will not be disappointed.
Is my disappointment with Markell great? Not really. Not as big as some. Would I work for him, given him money and facebook “likes” next time around? If I think he is slightly better than the other guy, I will.
