sailing the fingers of the dragon

Because he represents everything that political behind-the-scenes work is and none of what it could be. He's smart and tough and in it to win, and that's great, but there has been absolutely no indication that he wants to win because he actually thinks winning would make the world a better place. He wants to win for the sport of it. Have you ever heard him say word one about policy? I've listened, and I haven't.

I think he's a great character, and he's totally realistic, but people like that make me really sad.
