Free advice to political staffers

From Allen J., from my piece in HuffPo:

Preliminaries done, MacEachen rendered his advice. I didn’t take notes, but I never forgot what he said.

“Two things,” he said. “Don’t stay longer than two years. You will grow cynical, and that will hurt you and it will hurt the ones you serve.”

He paused.

“The ones who stay longer than two years ultimately become glorified bag-carriers.”
