Quest for an honest politician

March
18

A Senate committee meeting was momentatily interrupted today when the ancient Greek philospher Diogenes entered the room.

Diogenes, dressed in a scragly robe and sporting an unkempt long white beard, also carried a lantern. He told lawmakers he was “looking for an honest politician.’’

The senators refused his request to ask questions, told him to be careful with the open flame he carried, and were relieved when he walked out.

Inside the Diogenes costume was comedian Randy Credico, who roamed around the Capitol this monring in the outfit of Diogenes, known in ancient time for his quest for “an honest man’’ who made a virtue out of his poverty.

    The real Diogenes wouldn’t have wasted his time going anywhere near Albany. He’d have better odds at Sing Sing.

    For those of you who read this blog and would like to meet Dogenes he appears every Thursday night at 9pm at the Yippie Museum Cafe 9 Bleecker Street Greenwich Village NYC Http://www.yippiemuseum.org So stop by say hello and learn if he has yet found an honest politician. In fact when he beats Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Schumer. He will have found himself.
