With Ricardson out, Commerce might be perfect for you. No real power
in poilicy making, but the perqs of office I hear are mighty nice for
someone like you who likes to live in the limelight. Then you could
bide you time until a more suitable position came along, something
like, say, the head gov'ment man what is in charge of measuring and
certifiing transom heights. Just think In 4 years in that job you
could basically render every boat under 26' unseaworthy. Quite a
contribution you could make, yessiree. Or manbe with Roibert Rubin
resigning, you could make a triumphant entrance to high finance (with
fireboat welcome!) just in time to save the country. No hill to climb
for a Yalie, eh, Old Boy. Nosiree. But maybe when it comes right
down to it, you will not be offered any posiition and you'll still be
sitting on your fat ass 18 hours a day at your keyboard whileKaren
works to feed your sorry ass. This is what I predict.
