The Perry collapse rivals Ed Muskie’s tearful breakdown and exceeds the Dukakis tank ride.

[muawiyah]

The Dukakis tankride was just one of those bad pictures no politician ever wants to have. What nailed him was when he equivocated when asked how he would react to his wife being raped and murdered.

That one item was a disaster ~ at the same time the questioner, and the audience, and Americans at large had no idea his wife had some serious mental issues (clinical depression) ~ and although that was her problem he too shared in the struggle.

We can only imagine the memories that triggered ~ fortunately medical science progressed and she found a serious degree of relief through ECT. Praise God !
