 During today’s class discussion I thought of an article (linked below) that I read yesterday. The piece effectively captures the idea that politicians are empty vessels covered by blank wrapping which typically conceals hollow rhetoric and a lack of conviction. The Republican presidential candidates’ respective reactions to Rush Limbaugh’s vile attack on Sandra Fluke illustrates the concept of ‘empty vessel’ politician perfectly.

These candidates have spent months on the campaign trail, making speech after speech pontificating about their “courage”, their “leadership”. Yet their actual responses to Limbaugh’s venomous attack illustrate just the opposite.
