All the politicians like tirinian best

[firstfrost]

I think I just blew off the mayor of Somerville. For some reason I find this somewhat more embarassing than blowing off the standard political telemarketers. But it took a minute or two after evading the call for his entire spiel to finish registering what he had said, and I had become vaguely disgruntled that he asked if I was tirinian's kid (or wife, but that's slightly less cause for disgruntlement).

I'm still not seeing it. If you'd been rude, then I could see your point - but then I'm not in the boat of being rude to telemarketers in general (except those that won't let me hang up.) But being dismissive to the Mayor when he'd called you up not to do his job but to pimp some guy to your housemate really isn't striking me as wrong.

Now if he'd asked you to take a message and you'd been too busy, then it would be disrespectful of elders/elected leaders, sure. But he didn't know a thing about you yet somehow felt it okay to use his position to try and sway your political opinion.

Ah, but I am embarassed by many things that are not wrong. :)
