I can imagine. Because I know that in politics one has no friends. That is a sad commentary on our political life, but it's been true a long time, in fact, the big tough guys in DC who have been there long enough to have expectations of security (false expectations, mostly), actually like to brag about the meanness there saying to newcomers, "If you want a friend, here, get a dog."  They and we should all be ashamed of our political culture. There are many bad areas of our culture, and politics is one of the worst. Are you ashamed?  I am.
