Coward of the Country

Back in the day, there was a very popular song, which most of us enjoyed hearing. I guess maybe I heard it too much. It was sung by Kenny Rogers and was the story of the reluctant hero who, through most of the song was, was known as the coward of the county.

I was reminded of the song today, Only I would change three things. First the character in the song was not a coward but was simply honoring a promise. The character I’m thinking of is afraid to leave the basement and hold a news conference, probably at the behest her handlers, aka puppeteers. Second, she is a woman, representing a party that knows not how to define a woman. Third the hero in the song is called the coward of the county. The woman I am referring to is the coward of the country, a one letter difference, you see.
