setting: yuppie corporate gym, downtown Chicago. Lots of traders and lawyers and insurance execs, relaxing on a Friday evening.
Me (casually):
Bush said today in a speech we didn't need "intern camps."
Clueless callow guy:
I haven't decided how I'm going to vote. I mean I support Bush on the tax cuts and Israel. And what does Kerry really stand for?
Big white alpha male swinging corporate Dick (turning and speaking to clueless guy):
Lissen, Bill, Bush is a VERY VERY BAD GUY. All of his policies are designed to enrich himself and his family. Even if you are in a high tax bracket and think that you would come out ahead on the tax cuts, you have to realize that the damage he has done to the economy long-term, and to America's standing in the world, and to the credibility of our government is worse than any other President in history, and the damage will far outweigh the short term gain to you from the tax cuts. Whatever you do, Bill, you cannot vote for Bush, got that?
Clueless Callow Guy (looking stunned):
Oh.
