“As often recalled by this media outlet, he took positions to the far left of the political spectrum – advocating on behalf of climate change, wealth transfers and open borders.”

Otherwise known as being a person of morals, not a feckless politician.

A man was getting his hair cut and telling his barber about his upcoming vacation in Italy. He mentioned the airline he and his wife were taking. The barber replied that the airline was way overrated. The barber said the seats were uncomfortable, the in-flight meals nothing to brag about, and they charged too much.

The man said they wanted to go see Venice and ride in a gondola. The barber said that the gondola rides were overrated. “The boat owners charge too much.” “The water is smelly.” “Not worth it at all.”

Every thing the man mentioned, his barber put a totally negative spin on. The negativity was such that the man couldn’t wait to get out of the barber chair and away from his barber.

About three weeks later, the man was back in the barber’s chair getting another haircut. As before, the barber managed to put a negative spin on everything the man told about his trip.

Finally, the man said that he and his wife had gone to The Vatican. The barber, a devout Catholic asked how that went. “Wonderful”, said the man. “The day we were there, The Pope actually came outside and addressed the crowd from ground level. That is a rare occurrence and treat. Then The Pope made his way through the crowd, shaking hands with and blessing random people. It was awesome! Then he looked at me from a distance and seemingly zeroed in on me. He made his way through the crowd and shook my hand and whispered something in my ear before moving on to others in the crowd!”

The barber asked,”What did he say to you?”

The man said, “Wherever did you get that shitty haircut?”
