A while back, I was at a business luncheon with some clients of one of my bosses. They were fairly unsophisticated and very very East Texas...we were having pleasant conversation until one of them started on on the then-newly elected Scott Brown and how it was a great triumph. She followed that up by saying that any Republican who didn't vote with the rest of them should be kicked out of the party.
Your comment was what I said, as it was the most non-partisan and innocuous way I could steer the conversation someplace else, before I pointed out what and idiot she was. I remember saying something like "You know, I wouldn't be president for all the money in the world. You can never please anyone - be it the other side or your own base. There's a good reason they age so fast." It worked.
No real point to that story. That comment just reminded me of it.
