IN “THE WIRE”, a crime drama, a former mayor of Baltimore explains the realities of political office to his successor. “The first day I became mayor, they sit me down at the desk—big chair, dark wood, lots of beautiful things—I’m thinking: how much better can it get?” In walks a flunkie carrying a silver bowl. “‘What the hell is this?’ I said. ‘It looks like shit. What do you want me to do with it?’ He says, ‘Eat it.’” At that point more bowls arrive, a constant flow of immaculately presented excrement. “That’s what it is. You’re sitting eating shit all day long. Day after day, year after year.”
