The Constituent

   So my older brother likes to snap photos with his cell phone, which is good, and to share his better snaps with me, which is also good, but then he goes and shares this photo of Senator Leahy, which is so not good.  
     Think for a moment about how many times our good senator has been photographed in the course of his life.  Thousands and thousands of times.  And yet my brother finds a way not merely to take but also to not immediately delete and instead remarkably to share what must be the worst Leahy photo ever taken.  

     It's not Leahy himself of course -- the walking-with-his-mouth-full notwithstanding -- but the constituent in back smelling his fingers.  ("Did I wash my hands?  I think I washed them ...")
