Two pages on this guy, two pages about a politician who wants to serve as mayor of one of the great financial centers of the world, and what have we learned? He dresses charmingly frumpy. Old ladies find him dreamy. He's a serial adulterer. He makes corny puns about Italian food. See anything missing here? Ah, yes, that's it... WHAT DOES HE STAND FOR?!? Have we really fallen so far that we don't care AT ALL what a politician's proposed policies are? How would a Boris administration differ from a Ken administration, other than the quality of gossip? Is it naive of me even to ask such a thing? What, exactly, is the difference nowadays between a political election and a high school popularity contest? Then again, I guess I've read enough on this site to know the answer: Slate would be far more comfortable reporting on the latter.
