If I Only Had A Heart
This is the new politics. No weakness must be left unexploited.
We're talking the campaign mailer in which GOP candidate Bill Conrad attacks opponent Tom Berryhill -- for having a heart transplant.
The headline of the direct mail piece -- in blood red ink, no less: "Tom Berryhill doesn't have the HEART for State Assembly."
That's accompanied by a handy list of "Heart Transplant Facts."
Among them:
*"The Average Lifespan of a Heart Transplant recipient is 7 years," followed by the none-too-subtle observation that "Berryhill's transplant was 6 years ago."
*"Heart Transplant patients take Anti-rejection medications for life. (These medications weaken the immune system making the recipient more susceptible to illness and death.)"
And finally:
*"Severe stress SIGNIFICANTLY shortens the life expectancy of Heart Transplant recipients."
And we all know about stress in Sacramento.
So, how long do you think it will be until history repeats itself and someone kills Rachel Jackson again?
