The man’s [Tim Kaine] apparent humanity could spell trouble for his candidacy, as some voters questioned whether he has the capacity for unspeakable evil that is generally considered necessary to win higher office.But, as Borowitz does, should we add, hedge the kudos, by tacking on 'seemingly'?
'Yes', Hillary Clinton, Democratic Party assumptive Dem candidate for President has filled the very worrisome position of her Vice President running mate with a solid, experienced and a genuine person, Senator Tim Kaine former Governor of Virginia. Tim Kaine is a good fit - for Hillary, for the Democratic Party ticket and especially for the spectrum of America's diverse peoples.
But, 'Yes', as Andy Borowitz messages, Senator Kaine's normalcy and good vibes also serve to put a hard light on America's current moral status - Kaine seems maybe too good, too real, too genuine for jaded America.
Borowitz' peels back America's banana. The title of his July 24 piece says much about American politics, it's lack of what 'jaded' America grudgingly accepts but what America needs to feel good about itself - respect for our political system, our political ways, decision operations and the too often questionable behavior of our elected officials.
Borowitz incisively ends:
“I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I worry about his lack of experience being a dick,” one voter said.
