My doctor is the best

[ChickMagic]

He and I have been ribbing each other good naturedly over politics. He voted Bush because of the terror issue. Well, I was at my appointment yesterday and he says, "I hope you have some influence over politicians. I'm a born and bred Texan like you and lately I'm completely embarrassed by what's going on in Austin, especially with Tom DeLay.

He continued, "All of our services are being cut, they refuse to raise taxes on people who are wealthy and I'm just really embarrassed."

I asked him about Bush. He said, "I can't believe he lied to us about Iraq. I didn't think anyone with the responsibility of the presidency would lie just to prove that he's better than his dad."

I told him that I'm pretty sad that all this has happened. Then I couldn't help it. I said, "I tried to tell you what these people were like. You know medicine, and I know about politicians. Now we have to work together to make it right."

He agreed with that. He was clearly embarrassed and upset because he knew very well what my feelings were about the pukes. But he admitted it. I told him he could borrow my FUGWB shirt so he laughed. He said, "I just might."

1. sucks to hafta take your own medicine

2. He's really, really nice

and he's saved my life. I felt bad for him. If it had been anyone else, I'd have said, "Sucks to be you."

4. Good for you to discuss this so frankly with your doctor!

And, good for him for admitting he had been completely wrong about *! That takes courage and a lot of intelligence to admit. I'm sure he has a lot more respect for you now; just as you have for him!

Maybe, just maybe, the tide is starting to turn...

5. It certainly made me feel hopeful

The doc has 6 kids - some Repukes and some not. One works for the Dem party somewhere. He's had to be a little flexible, but I was proud of him to admit that I was right. It takes a big man to do that.

6. Yes, it does take a big man to admit that! nt
