I understand Yarmuth’s wanting to gush about having personal experience with a First Lady in a joint photo op at a children’s hospital, but he’s starting to sound every bit as plastic as the rest of ‘them’. I’m starting to file him with the rest of the politicians that probably wouldn’t do a thing without having their press secretary making some calls first.
And Conrad is a good, honest guy with integrity – who actually knows what the word means.
