Hey Larry,
Did you read Karey's clip from the West
wing? The Bartlett character is my idea of a smug, self satisfied
prick -- "in this bldg when the president stands nobody sits..."
Gimme a break -- an abuse of power. Plain and simple. It's one
thing to challenge authority from a position of weakness (however juvenile); but
to weild power smugly is -- well, it's not something that pleases
me. Nobody needs a smart ass rebuke about "respect" from the most
powerful man in the world. Just the opposite is called for -- some show of
humility and restraint. That's my take. But obviously others see the
Bartlett character differently. That's what makes this discussion so much
fun for me. Steve and Karey seem to both like this Bartlett character but
disagree about about his theology -- I tend to agree more with Karey's
theology than with Steve's (though both know a whole lot more about the Bible
than I do) but I disagree with both of them about this Bartlett
fellow.
