The past two days I have written about the "coolness" of Zelensky.
Late last night a reader sent me this, found somewhere on the web:
We Americans may not have realized it, but we were looking for a political leader of fortitude and integrity. We had settled for something less. A cold predator KGB-type snake might be the future of national leadership. Or a tycoon con man, who appeals to our worst instincts. Or someone too old to be dangerous.
Zelensky isn't ironic. He doesn't present a subtext that points in the opposite direction. He isn't triangulating. There is no book deal in the offing for him. He isn't exaggerating for ratings or playing to his base.
Zelensky captured our attention and admiration because we respect earnest authenticity on behalf of one's countrymen.
Ask what you can do for your country.
