During the late 1960s, I was a Corpsman stationed in the Eye Clinic at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, MD. It's the hospital the President goes to. One of the perks of being a member of Congress is a yearly physical. There are 435 Representatives and 100 Senators, plus high ranking others ,and most of them came to Bethesda. So I got to meet lots of them. To be honest, after the awe wore off, they all looked like insurance salesman. This was pre-Betty Ford, and there were a number of alcoholic politicians. But there were a few others when I saw them I thought: OMG!!! If YOU'RE the winner, what the hell was the loser like??????
