Dear A.S.S. Editor
The issue of yes-men have been in the news recently. The media have been at pains to show that yes-men are not wanted in the eyes of the government, and that our leaders don’t surround themselves with yes-men.
But, how to believe them? They keep saying that people are selected for their abilities, and not their eagerness to say yes at every opportunity. But the party that wear white themselves has a party whip. And what does the party whip do?
Yup, ensures everyone in white are on the same page. Yes-men, don’t you think? Right hand says yes-men don’t bother apply, left hand whips the party into yes-men. There is a serious problem here then. Do as what we say, not what we do.
