I had hoped to hear the President TONIGHT tell the Congress and the AMERICAN PEOPLE exactly how he PLANS to tackle some of the IMPORTANT issues facing this country, unfortunately I did not.

I think things changed as a result of a CERTAIN PERCEPTION of our politics. When we went through our zealous, self-righteous period it didn't EXACTLY win us any FRIENDS.

The power of 'Madame Bovary' stems from Flaubert's DETERMINATION to render each OBJECT of his scrutiny EXACTLY as it looks, or SOUNDS or smells or FEELS or tastes.

I've never THOUGHT of it consciously... I say exactly what I THINK, and very OFTEN it's totally politically incorrect. I get, always, chastised for it. So it's not shtick. But I think I'm the one who SAYS, 'The EMPEROR has no clothes.'

What I feel I am doing now is giving to the PEOPLE exactly what they PAID for but never actually heard before.
