By Allentown Morning Call Columnist Bill White. He imagines that Clarence the Angel (who is trying to earn his wings) is sent down to Earth to look at Corbett's life, after Corbett becomes discouraged. Excerpts:


"The jobless are stoners? That's his answer?" "Yes. His reefer madness theory kicked off a new round of hurtful mockery."

"So let me summarize," the senior angel said. "Corbett is under fire from people who care about education, from people who are appalled at his attitudes about joblessness and other social problems and pretty much everyone else except the corporate fat cats who give him money. I think you can see why it's imperative that we descend to Earth and help him understand that his life has been of real worth. Clarence, are you ready to convince Tom Corbett that he has had a wonderful life?"

"Actually, sir, I don't think I am. The world would be better off if he hadn't been around, or at least if he had avoided public office. The man is a menace."

"But … what about your wings?"

"I'll walk."

I think Jon Stewart should do a whole show on just Pennsylvania under Corbett. It would be a hoot.
