Somewhere in our state, a reliable source tells us, there lives a politician we would call a master of the photo op.
If you had the good fortune of spending more than a week in the state, you would see his smiling self in a newspaper photo. He is that good, despite not being a member of the state administration. The man is so sure of himself that the following scene happened without any note in the local paper afterwards.
An important but brief, about an hour long, event is taking place in one of the big cities of the state. As the event draws to a close, a limousine arrives. The politician emerges from it and loudly asks: Have the photographers arrived yet?
They left a few minutes ago.
Without a word, the politician gets back into his vehicle and leaves.
The source also reported he had a service person fired because said service person was ten minutes late.
One mistake, that's all he needs to go after you, said our source.
No worries, dear readers, he will be re-elected and suffer no harm.
It is not at all clear that we are dealing with a lime-light hogging slime ball of a politician. Maybe he did not intend to be on the following day's paper front page but wanted to say hello to a photographer buddy he hadn't seen in a couple of weeks. And it be he had a truly more important event to rush to, an event of such magnitude it did not make the news.
His eldest son is running for office in upcoming elections.
