I get it. Senators of the Republic are supposed to behave. Over the years, politics have evolved into a colossal popularity contests and less about public service. By public service, I don’t mean the photo-ops of celebrities kissing orphans at the orphanage or hobnobbing with the soldiers in Iraq. Not even the sign that says made possible by the office of congressman so and so. Mind you, senators this is the you tube generation, every frame is kept for posterity. Your grandchildren’s children would be able to view the moments of grandstanding.

But that quip from Senator Pimentel and reading this article, even my esteemed bedfellow managed a smile. Perhaps though the bigger question is how could politicians be public servants at the same time?
