While suturing a cut on the hand of a
75 year old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to
politicians and their role as our leaders.
The old rancher said, "Well, you
know, most politicians like Mike Duffy are 'Post Turtles'.''
Not being familiar with the term, the
doctor asked him, what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, "When
you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a
turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old rancher saw the puzzled look
on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get
up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do
while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just
wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."
Best explanation I've heard yet.
