I didn’t know a national politician could be capable of writing something this good. Bob Dole had a sharp wit, and also did heroic work in saving our country from nationalized health care in the 90s. But this guy might be able to top Dole on both counts. And he’s from my home state, too.
I’ll probably find some things about Thaddeus G. McCotter that I don’t like, but for now I am just enjoying the fact that an elected politician can do this.
Oh, and he has also re-motivated me to learn Russian well enough to read Dostoevsky in the original. I’ve been spending a few minutes each evening reading some Tolstoi — in a bilingual edition because I need the help of the translation much of the time. In other words, I have a long ways to go. But after reading McCotter I don’t know if I can wait for that before reading more about the Grand Inquisitor.
