My Money Is On the Kangaroo

Dear Editor:
Kurt Suomela is disturbed that politicians pander rather than engage in "an honest discussion" (Letters, December 24). This reality is indeed disturbing, but we should expect no more. We have a better chance of training a kangaroo to recite King Lear in a perfect Etonian dialect than we have of persuading any serious politician to put honesty and intellectual rigor above his or her quest for office.
Sincerely,
