Inauthenticity is endemic in American politics today. The political backrooms where I spent much of my career were just as benighted as my personal life equally crowded with shadowy strangers and compromises truths I hoped to deny. I lived not in one closet but in many.
It's funny I'm in some ways hopelessly masculine but I don't fish I don't hunt I'm not that into sports. I can't fix a car. I think it's my point of view and the way I see the world.
