Well, it bring to mind really the definition of politics, I suppose, here in the late 20th century, at least as practiced by our campaigner in chief. I would have to say it is politics at its most cynical, the mission being, accept credit for those things you have absolutely nothing to do with and divert the blame for those projects and those objects, I might add, that cause problems that you literally may have your fingerprints all over. That has come to define politics here in the late 20th century as practiced by our friend at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
