9. I Found Myself Feeling Empathy |

For all of the Russians who would have been watching Boris Yeltsin delivering a speech totally S-faced. Like them, I didn't vote for the guy. Like most Americans, I didn't vote for the guy. Like most voters in Florida, I didn't vote for the guy, but I felt shame that somehow, through some illegal manipulation of the system, he had become our leader.
The one message that came out of tonight's fiasco is that those who hate us have a pretty good reason to do so.
