Gordon captures very well the nature of the meddling and self-aggrandizing politician.
Years ago the N.Y.Times published letters Hillary Clinton wrote during college to a pen pal that describe why she chose that path.
The Times writes that in one letter:
"Ms. Rodham becomes expansive and wistful when discussing the nature of leadership and public service, and how the validation of serving others can be a substitute for self-directed wisdom. “If people react to you in the role of answer bestower then quite possibly you are,"
and
"From there, she deems the process of self-definition to be “too depressing” and asserts that “the easiest way out is to stop any thought approaching introspection and to advise others whenever possible.”
