People treat me differently when I clean up and wear a suit, even when I don't buy anything. Once, at a school board meeting, I shook hands with a board member. The guy held back his pinky and ring fingers gave me a Masonic handshake, then apologized when I gave a normal handshake, saying he thought I was a "member."
In 2004, I worked some oppo, but the Kerry team objected when I called Bush "The Little Turd from Crawford." What they really wanted was money. They then stood down when the smear-boat liars ran the table.
