Polite lives an interesting life to say the least.
When we first started DBR, one of our earliest media pals was Steve Politi, who then wrote for the Raleigh News & Observer. We had a good time - Politi and DBR pulled a few minor pranks on his bosses which we're pretty sure they never caught on to. We appreciated his intelligence and his absolute willingness to skewer sacred cows.
Politi is smart and funny and also insightful. So when he went to cover a golf event and Donald Trump showed up...well, Politi does not disappoint.
