Our Favorite Mistake!
The Political Editor (PE) made a startling observation today: "you can judge a presidential candidate by what they say their greatest mistake is." For example, George W. Bush in a 2000 debate said his greatest mistake was when he owned the Texas Rangers baseball team and traded Sammy Sosa to the White Sox. In reality, this was not a mistake at all: the Rangers obtained the great Harrold Baines and made the playoffs for the only time in the team's sorry history. Years later they obtained Alex Rodriguez, the greatest player of his day, and they still stunk. Yesterday candidate for president Barrack Obama answered the same question by saying it was when he drank as a teenager and experimented with drugs. Now, one might think that since most Americans have a similar history, and such history wasn't our greatest mistake, that means either Senator Obama is a modern day saint or he's full of it.
We know Monz, if asked the same question, would own up to a serious mistake, like a bad lunch order. In fact, he has, on this very blog! Our advice to the other candidates: give a better answer to the "greatest mistake" question, or we're electing Monz! That said, Monz made no mistake yesterday when he went to The Place, coupon from the Sunday paper in hand, for a foot long veggie-delite on honey oat.
