Washington School of Manners
El WaPo's Sally Quinn (wasn't she an MTV VJ in the 80s who did the zit cream commercials?) tells us how to deal with moving from the party in power to the party out of power, and vice versa. Apparently, the key to remaining popular and viable when your side eventually returns from the political wilderness is to:
- Not be a dick;
- Find a new way to feed your family;
- Consider leaving D.C., but don't do so if you like it here;
- Be nice to your "friends," who are apparently people who spend time with you even if you don't have any money or status to offer them;
- Not be a dick.
Next week in "How to behave around and relate to your fellow homo sapiens," an in-depth discussion of when and where it is acceptable to punch people in the mouth.
