That "qualified " quality -hmm

 I read on the front page of the Providence Journal this morning

    just how shameful voter participation was in the Sept. 15 primary : a

    record low, about 12.4 percent. ( not MY fault. As usual I voted for a

    loser. ) .

          But nevertheless the most EXCITING thing going on in Rhode Island

    is the race for attorney general.

          " Landslide " Sheldon think he can wallop Nancy Mayer by fatuously

    challenging her QUALIFICATIONS . Be wiser, Mr. Whitehouse! Or you may

    just end up as the doorkeeper in that famous building with your name.

           Assuming that the public rarely selects the UNQUALIFIED for

    office, we must ask : And what is the record of the QUALIFIED in

    public office ?

           Are QUALIFIED rogues more desirable than UNQUALIFIED ones ?

      I want the plumber and the airline pilot to be QUALIFIED. Common decency

    and common sense will go a long way in ANY elected office.

          Was not Robert F. Kennedy attacked in the first weeks of his

    brother's administration ? He was UNQUALIFIED to be the nation's attorney

    general !  But who would have been a better man for the job in those

    tumultuous days ? He brought PASSION and CONVICTION and ENERGY to the

    job.

          Mr. Whitehouse YOU"RE NO ROBERT KENNEDY ! ( even if I vote for you )
