Mazie Hirono, Hawaii’s first woman in the U.S. Senate, was talking to a group of political supporters. She noted that she was an Asian, an immigrant, and a Buddhist. Somebody in the audience then asked, “Yes, but are you gay?” Ms. Hirono replied, “Nobody’s perfect.”
Don’t you just love America?
I learned about Ms Hirono’s reply in the December 2012 issue of the Hightower Lowdown, a newsletter edited by Jim Hightower, a real live Texas liberal. Visit Mr. Hightower’s website at <www.hightowerlowdown.org>.
