The Todd Herman Show

Well, it makes sense. Power is a powerful drug. Why are we talking about this? It has to do with the worship of power and the inability for people to let go of it. There's a great article in Vanity Fair that features the writer's worshipful description of Dr. Jill Biden. She's a doctor, don't you know?  And the paragraph, while long and run on, is indicative of how people view those with power when they're in the world of wanting to have it. Now, I've never had real power. I've had the power on loan from big organizations, Microsoft and the Republican National Committee. I can tell you that being in the world of motorcades,VIP seating, and where you don't need to be a nice person because people will do what you say, it is a very addictive world. It's interesting, of course, because there are people who don't have power who suddenly are showing how shrill and fragile the people in power are and how much they want to hold on to it. You'll hear Joe Scarborough, a guy absolutely desperate to hold on to power. 90
