		<description><![CDATA[Hey, it could happen (heaven forfend).  I remember how Sonny appeared virtually from nowhere 8 years ago, got the nomination &amp; won-- just because he wasn&#039;t the other candidate, rather than the fact that he was better qualified.  Someone told me that there&#039;s a website that lists the top 20 most unethical politicians, and Deal was #15.  *sigh*  Can we really do no better than recycling the rejects?  I&#039;m just tired of the whole thing already!]]></description>
