Leadership and drinking the Sand

Aaron Sorkin wrote it...now the two ends of the spectrum both conservative and liberal are standing up and screaming, because there is no "Leadership" from level headed people who can determine what "we ought to have" versus "what we want and think we need"...with regard to policy today.

From the American President:

Michael J. Fox(LEWIS)
...People want leadership.
And in the absence of genuine
leadership, they will listen to
anyone who steps up to the
microphone. They want leadership,
Mr. President. They're so thirsty
for it, they'll crawl through the
desert toward a mirage, and when
they discover there's no water,
they'll drink the sand.

SHEPHERD
(evenly)
Lewis, we've had Presidents who were
beloved, who couldn't find a coherent
sentence with two hands and a
flashlight. People don't drink the
sand, 'cause they're thirsty, Lewis.
They drink it 'cause they don't know
the difference.


And its our Cable news hosts who are leading these people, many of whom don't know the difference between fact and fear mongering agenda driven ratings stunts...It is the fringe who are leading...The Maddow, Limbaugh fringe, the JD Hayworth's, attacking John McCain. The Emily's List politician that is tunnel visioned to ensure reproductive rights beyond the wants and desires of the American Public.

We need Leadership!....
