This is a short story. Political humor. Do all our politicians talk this way behind closed doors? Let's hope not. There's defintely no phoney PR talk here as the mythical governor of a northern state has a nitty gritty conversation as he shares his crude blunt philosphy and thoughts about people and politics with his aide on a car ride to a PR function.

Excerpt:
“Oh yeah, I forgot. And refresh my memory--what the hell are we going there for?” I mean, what have they to offer us?”..........

.......“And what speech am I giving tonight. Not that damn thing about global warming again!”……..

The governor bristled. “I hope you’ve got that teleprompter thing fixed this time. I almost made a damn fool of myself last week at the Press Club with that damn global warming speech. The damn speech started running backwards halfway through, then restarted and it took me a while to notice it. And that nitwit idiot running the thing—what’s his name?

“You mean Miss Flitchley.”

“Yeah I remember now—Miss Flitchley, the tax b____h.”

“As you say governor.”…………….

“.........The mayor and his AIDES will just have to suck it up for a while. Say, he’s still s_______ng that b______ secretary of his isn’t he?”

“You mean Miss Jameson?”

“Yeah MISS Jameson—Miss strawberries on shortcake--that redheaded skirt flipping b____.”

Beckman cleared his throat. “Well sir, I do believe there is still a COVERT relationship going on in that department.”

“I take it that means he’s still s________ her. I wouldn’t say it’s covert. He’s so open with it, it’s a wonder the papers haven’t printed something about it. He let’s his dog out to piss and everybody knows what tree he peed on. What a ….
