Am watching a rerun of "Red October" with Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery.
One of my favorite lines from the movie and a good one to always keep in mind, especially in an election year: 
The late great lamented actor Richard Jordan as Dr. Jeffrey Pelt, the President's Security Advisor addresses Alec Baldwin's character:
"Listen...I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I kept my options open..."
Newly relevant in this election year.
