This has become a cottage industry. People sell their soul for money, power and prestige, get a “change of heart” and fall on their proverbial sword.

Examples: Frank Luntz, the guy who made so much money that he was able to build an EXACT REPLICA of the oval in his home, replete with priceless bits of history by coming up with cozy terms such as “death tax” and helping shape a lot of the divisions we have today.

Now he goes on tv and is shocked! Shocked, I tell you, about how we “don’t talk to one another “. It’s a lovely performance and of course, he’s able to turn on the tear machine quite effectively. It’s a load of crap.

To me, this gentleman is much the same. It’s not “brave” to decry an action after you’ve committed the act and reaped the benefits. It’s image management, plain and simple.
