"You learn more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation" -Plato

The Most Mistrusted Man In America.

He did nothing to EARN trust. He looked the part.

His audience was conned.

You’re right. It’s from Richard Lingard’s “Letter of Advice to a Young Gentleman leaving the University”, published in 1670 and reprinted in 1907.

But, what Palin attributes to Plato, is clearly not Plato. Anyone who's read Athenian philosophy would recognize that the texture, syntax and rhythm are all entirely wrong.

Expect Celtic Skank to file an ethics violation shortly.

Thanks for pointing that out. Standing alone it was absurd but really it makes sense in context - except tht I don’t believe Cronkite was “liberal” by his definition - I think he was left of center.
