我一直很喜歡林肯說的那段話:「You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time.」不只是蔡英文,所有的政客都該好好咀嚼這段話!
不因人設事、不以人廢言,為文明社會基本原則,殆無疑義。和前一任馬英九對比,馬任內並未有因哪個大學校長偏綠,而搞類似今上拔管之舉。既然標榜大學自治,遊戲規則即不應雙重標準髮夾彎,市井俗諺叫「賭歹跤」,願賭不服輸。只因管爺背景政治不正確,「層峰」即千方百計欲除之而後快,為此搞掉兩任教育部長,徒予外界一朝權在手,便把令來行,威權換個顏色復辟、吃相難看之譏。執政黨的表現,應了Patrick Murray名言:Any political party that includes the word 'democratic' in its name, isn't.
