You're my Congressman, and I've voted for you three times now. But you're not likely to be mayor anyway. You will be 70 this year, and we have never forgotten this, from only 6 years ago:

More than a dozen lawmakers attended a congressional reception this year honoring the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in which Moon declared himself the Messiah and said his teachings have helped Hitler and Stalin be "reborn as new persons."

At the March 23 ceremony in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rep. Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) wore white gloves and carried a pillow holding an ornate crown.

Ouch. That just hurt so much: I've just never felt I could trust your judgment after that. It was just about the stupidest thing I've ever seen a Congressperson do. Please, let's not cast stones.
