Your Vote: Man vs. Morel
By GAIL COLLINS, NYT
Our question for today is: How do you feel about the defeat of Senator Richard Lugar in the Indiana Republican primary?
The emphasis here is entirely on your feelings. We are in 2012, people. I know you may be reading this on your iPad, and that if things get boring you can immediately ditch me and go buy a pair of shoes or play Fruit Ninja.
So, here we go. When I say “Richard Lugar,” which one of these thoughts comes to mind?
A) A standard-bearer for Senate civility who I was saddened to see squashed like a political bug.
B) I am really happy that the Democrats will have a better chance to win the Indiana Senate seat against whatsisname.
C) Richard Lugar is 80 years old! It’s time for people like him to retire so slots will open up for deserving job-searchers like, say, me.
D) Who is Richard Lugar? Does this have anything to do with the new hit movie, “The Avengers”? Because if it doesn’t, I’m going to go play Angry Birds.
