Snake Oil Salesman

<blockquote>"I said after the election, 'I'll ride tall in the saddle for Montana,"' Schweitzer said. "And I think that's important to have an image for Montana that people can respect."</blockquote><br />n<br />nMaybe someday we will "respect" the image but it definitely isn't the person that is in their now. Snake in the grass is a lot more appropriate.<br />n<br />n<b>Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under. H. L.

Damn, I didn't even read the whole article when I commented on it. Right at the end I find.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>The Senate GOP leader says he asked one national reporter if he'd ever heard of former Gov. Marc Racicot, Montana's chief executive from 1993 to 2001. <br />n<br />n"There was a poster child of a Western governor who could be considered for a national office," Keenan says.</blockquote><br />n<br />nRacicot for national office? The thought is even more chilling than <acronym title="<a href="http://governor.mt.gov/governor/govbio.asp">Gov. Brian Schweitzer</a>">The Second Coming</acronym> running for national office. I complain about Schweitzer as Governor, Racicot was worse in so many ways that I can't even describe it. I'm glad that a****le left the state. It smells better here now.
