I think it could be said in a technical sense that Slick was a master politician. No one lies, cheats and obfuscates better than that dude. As far as a leader, he was a slimy toad. I will always remember that clip of him leaving the Ron Brown funeral where he was laughing and playing grab ass with another guy until he noticed the TV cameras and on went the water works and frown.
Some would describe Obama as a “master politician”. I am amazed by how easily individuals affix the term “master” to people who haven’t rightly earned that title.
If anyone believes that a “master” politician is one who is able to lie and cheat his way through office, than both Obama and Clinton deserve such recognition.
I prefer to call such politicians Master Charlatans.
